- Dear viewer,
In this video I am showing you how the proper procedure to remove the driver's side AC vent without breaking anything. The process of removing the passenger side one is very similar, as the fastener locations are the same.
If you liked the video, please consider giving it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for more content like this! As always if you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comment section below. I do my best to answer to all comments.

Good work with your G. I wrote up a DIY on the MBWorld Forum a few years back how to do this, but I recommended just breaking the rear screw bosses off since they're so difficult to reach. Good videos. Keep them coming.
Thanks! Had no idea, but I have come across other people doing exactly that. Still, I couldn't believe that breaking off these screws would be necessary. I still don't know if this is the "official" MB way of doing this job, but it does work.
@@EndlessMotorWorks the official way is to take out the dash. Which is just crazy to me.
Great videos, helped me a lot. How have you solved the rear wiper switch as the new upgraded UCP does not have it
Not really... the rear wiper does come on when the front ones are on and you put the truck in reverse so that's something at least. However, regarding the UCP, the facelift switch array that is meant for the W463 does come with a button for the rear wiper, so if you splurge and get one of those it will not be a problem. It is only really an issue when you use one that is meant for the W203, as the facelift ones have the rear wiper being operated through the stalk.
What a gem of a video. I'm surprised in 20 years no one ever did a write up on this as these vents easily break with age and I'm assuming people would want to replace them. This needs to be a sticky.
I was just as surprised as you are. Someone commented that the proper way to do it according to Mercedes would be to remove the dash, which I find to be just insane... I don't even want to think how much that would cost in a dealership. Still, happy to hear that the video helped you out.
Do you have a link to the bendable screwdriver and bit ?
It's something I got from a local store so no link that I can share. I am sure there are ton of similar ones online.
Many thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Do you know how the other side could be loosened?
Same principle, just need to remove the glovebox to gain access to the fasteners
Newer version comes out the same but looks like it has Torx20
Thanks for the info. Definitely helpful to anyone with a newer truck
Thank you, you’ve had the clearest content on w463… wish everyone explained like you. Please keep making more! Would love to see some more retrofitting videos on this platform. Subscribed for sure!
