If anyone has a cover with the keylock hole in it in WDP that they would like to get rid of, PM me. A lady I work with traded in her C240 for an 06 Navi WDP and scratched the lock cover the first time she inserted the key in the door.

Just want to make sure I have the installation sequence down. Do you just pry the cover off? or do you do something with the tab shown in the picture? I'd just prefer not to screw up my car.
TIA

After looking at the posts with pics and the excellent discription, I was able to get the cover off and on. I didn't even scratch my brand new car. Now I just need the new cover!

AVB for President!
I guess I want to be sure: If the factory alarm goes off, is the only way to turn it off to put the key into the keyhole and turn? Or is there some other way to turn off the alarm?

Mine didn't come off so easy from the angle the picture is showing...so i just put a screwdriver in from above to the top of the piece. There's rubber backing behind it, so nothing got scratched. Quick, easy, cheap, and painless mod.

Excellent mod, Michael... Installed mine today. In addition to looking really cool, this prevents the "grungy lock look"..... Kinda like putting a cover over your belly button to prevent lint from accumulating....
