Do you still have it somewhere else? I need to remove the lower cladding on my w124 to have it refinished.

Thnks,
Pablo

You will find very good instruction on the forum here with a search.

Front doors: You will find two screws inside the rear edge of the doors. Remove these, then the bottom edge of the cladding is pulled straight out to disengage plastic fasteners. Once the bottom edge is released, the cladding is slid towards the rear of the car about 1/2 inch, then the top of the cladding can be pulled straight off.

Rear doors: Only one screw inside the rear edge. same procedure as front except cladding slides forward.

Fenders: The two smaller pieces of cladding on either side pull straight off. Pay attention to the way the rear piece hooks around the wheel opening a bit.

Caution: The cladding is no longer available and the smaller pieces may break inside at the top attachment point. You will also need new fasteners to re install as some will surely break. The best thing you can do is study the information you will find in your search and view the pictures of the fasteners inside the cladding.
