AMG Door Pins - Help!
I recently received my AMG door lock pins. I started to install them and when I screw them on, they screw *way* down. So far that if I were to lock the door, I think they would drop inside the door - not flush with the top. If I screw them in so they are flush, they aren't tight on the screw.
Are other people's lock pins not tight??

Now I just need to figure out what to do on the rear - given that you can't unlock the doors except with the pin.

Yes it's a curious design for sure. We did it anyway. You can unlock with the electric buttons in the front obviously. But it's probably a safety risk since the rear occupant can't unlock it themselves.

As for the rear locks, I just left the plastic ones on...out of sight, out of mind.

I find this annoying and a hassle for my passengers. I've learned to hit the open button when driving carpool. I wish it would unlock with a double open like my previous car. I was planning to do the AMG locks until I figured out that the passengers could easily lift the pins.
