Can someone detail me how I would go about installing it? I doubt i just have to slip it on right? I'm totally clueless guys...

Maximo7

i saw another thread a little ago about this as well....It said the passenger and driver ones where easy to install but the back ones where somewhat impossible...

If its easy to install and fits good im down for a set as well

aranu

LMAO...dude, don't bid against me...
I have been watching these for a while and finally decided to buy a set...thought I could save 3 bucks over the buy now price but I see I have competition...
The fronts screw on/off very easy but the rears will take a bit of work.

can anyone please confirm if the above pins sits flush?

C300Sport

I have the same style installed on the fronts now. They sit pretty much flush but I have decided I don't like the way the protrude from the side of the opening on the "inside" side of the door. Just doesn't look quite right for my taste so I am looking to go with the pins that fully depress into the opening.
If you want to give them a try, I will probably be selling mine (classic blue face and no chrome rings) once I install something else.

kaku

thks for the honest feedback.

if you had the black face, i would buy off you=)

aranu

Show me the buy now link and ill just take that haha. 3 bucks isn't too much since you eyed it first lol. SO these ones go all the way down so you cant see it after? if its easy install ill def buy.

Whoho...I get to save three bucks...thanks for being a gentleman...

As far as I can tell, you will have a tiny "bump" of chrome sticking out but nothing that will hurt your arm or be very noticeable.

TB5...

these are the ones i was lookin at too :\

lol great to know they don't protrude too much.

aranu

Well please install, and if you do how about a picture DIY, Its probably a easy install, but never the sense in risking anything.

I'd love to see a pic, too.

I'm thinking about getting these pins too. Can you please post some pictures with them installed?

Search for Door Pins I explained how I did the rears in a few threads (long and boring).

Savage c-300

Thanks for the Pics Ron!

Savage c-300

hey ron, is there a certain size air tube I need to get or is it all the same (sorry I don't own a fish tank)

mdniteangel

great pics! were they difficult to install? oh and how much did you end up paying for the door pins?

Savage c-300

you can get those door pins for about $30 on ebay or even formymercdes.com

I ended up ordering the black brabus ones. I wanted to keep the door pins low key so black pins on black interior was the way to go for me.

mdniteangel

Thank you..I couldnt find it on formymercedes.com but I saw some on ebay, the brabus one on ebay looks nice. I can't decided which ones to buy. I see some that have the emblem on top and other chrome ones that look ok.

Ron Jr

As far as I know there is only one size. I used neoprene soft and flexable.

visions

Ron, I looked around for your explanation of how you did the rears but didn't see it in search. Care to provide a link?

I've read that the Brabus pins for the rear slide over the plastic pin and basically do a friction mount. Is that the same with these rear pins? Seems sorta lame to me...
