I have a 2001 ML320 with Skyview roof. I can't figure out how to disassemble the wind deflector for cleaning/detailing purposes. Primarily, I can't seem to figure out how to remove the plastic cover shown below at the end of the yellow arrow.
Does anybody know how to remove this cover? Thanks
If I remember correctly the part you arrowed unclips forwards with a light or medium tap.
I do not remember exactly BUT I do remember that the wind deflector is actually stuck to the roof with self adhesive tape so I do not recommend trying to remove it. If you do remove it, and there is not enough stick left to stick it back to the roof, you may be left with a small gap which might whistle!
I installed this wind deflector, even though I have the small glass sunroof, to reduce the very high noise levels I experienced from the sunroof when it was open. I remember thinking when I installed it that I should never try to remove it for the above reason and also it might unstick some paint?
