Rear Door Panel Removal

I bought the AMG door pins, and when I went to push the rear ones onto the posts, it felt like some sort of clip gave way and the pin dropped way below the surface of the door panel. When I unlock the doors, the pins are about 15 to 20mm below the surface of the door panel, and I can't remove them. I figure I have to remove the door panel and see what's going on.

I've searched the hell out of this forum, and I haven't found any good instructions. I did come across this (wonderful resource!), but it's not entirely correct.
E63 Workshop Manual

Am I missing something? Per the instructions below, there should be two screws on the underside of the armrest, but there's nothing there. Unless someone knows where detailed instructions are, I'll be figuring this out this weekend and I'll make instructions to post up here.

Found it! And I didn't even need the VIN!

It's amazing what you find when you travel outside of the AMG forums. There's a wealth of information on this site, for sure. What I needed to know is contained in Figure 1 in the link below. The two torx screws are concealed beneath the stealth little trim piece below the armrest.

Oh, and Plutoe, I'll PM you my VIN, debit card number and PIN, and my SSN ASAP.

Thanks for the link. That's how we all help contribute knowledge to the site.
