Does anyone else find it funny that there are 34 posts, and almost a thousand views concerning two little rods of plastic? Do ya think we're a little **** about these cars??

Nah... it's just that the OEM door pins are REALLY outdated looking! Every time I see them I think of "old people".

Well actually it's 4 pieces of plastic shaped in the form of rods.

wow never knew the sedan ones look like crap. Man I havent seen door knob like those since my father's 1970s Mazda 323 hatchback

peet

Page 5? I hope?

Actually they're worse than that. They look like they came out of a 78 Chevy Caprice.

Could anyone who has bought the CLK Door pins please post a part number. My dealer is telling me they're $6 a piece. I've seen on here they run between $.80 and $1.00.

Not that I have a problem spending $24 dollars but I feel like I'm getting jerked around.

TIA

what do they look like. i havent noticed them. ill check them out next time im at the dealer.

From what I've heard, they look the same as the Coupe, But I have a sedan and don't like my elbow getting put up on a golf tee waiting for someone to swing.

In Canada, I bought those $1 each. They are only cheap plastic.

I'll gladly trade you, two of mine for two of yours

Why can't Mercedes (Or any car company) just offer parts directly to people over the internet?

no thanks. i like mine the way they are. ive done many mods for my car and if i modded out my door pins im thinking of the aluminum ones ove seen.

I have seen them all over ebay. Do a search and you should find them pretty easily.

wherman

I looked all over EBay (w203, Mercedes, Mercedes 203, Mercedes C Class, Mercedes CLK) and the only thing I could get to show up were chrome/metal ones.

Any possibility you could help point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Bill

ive seen those metal ones as well on ebay. will they fit on a coupe? they would have to be longer than the stock ones, because when the stock door pin goes down, it is way down.

C-three-twenty

Sorry about that, the guy that normally has them on ebay is not selling any of them at this time. I bought some a while ago. The bag that I got mine in came with this part# on it A 000 581 03 17. Not 100% sure if it is the right part# but I hope this helps.

go to the dealership and ask them to look up for the C-coupe door pin (same thing as the CLK, SLK, etc). They are a dollar each. You could just con your sales or service advisor into giving them to you for free btw. I did pay for mine which was pretty stupid cuz I could've just asked my sales to get'em for me.

wherman

Well I went to get them on Saturday and after being told anyhere from USD 6-16 I ordered them and asked how much...the guy responded "Around $2"

So f em

Thanks

CitronC230K_03

Turbo2

I've seen some people listed as mods as having CLK Door Pins and seen some discussions regarding these. What exactly do they do and how much do they cost?

Thanks in advance.

They are crappy plastic door pins, just not as ugly as stock C class pins.
Go Brabus flush crome pins.

nlpamg
