How do these look?
Thought you guys might appreciate these...
After looking at a pretty wide range of door pins, thought these looked the best:
The part number is A 099 766 01 00 2A17.
Here is the origin:

I was thinking that these clips came with each door pin, but you order them separately (A 099 766 00 00). Their price is actually kind of comical (like $1.50 each). So the whole shooting match is like $40.
The steps are:
1. Order four of these A 099 766 01 00 2A17:
...and four of these A 099 766 00 00:
2. Remove current door pin:
Should look like:
3. Follow this proceedure:
Here is the trick that the MB master mechanic told me (and I can confirm that you need to do it this way). Connect both the door pin and clip together and then lock the door, next push the door pin/clip combo down as far as it goes... it will lock in place. If you attempt to screw down the black clip and then push the door pin over it (as designed), it will stick up too high.

I couldn't be happier. I like them way better than any replacement pins that I have seen.

Nice, thanks for the details Viper.
When my Coupe arrives, I'll be between these and the JBSPEED AMG metal pins. I wish these were metal, if they were, I'd be on them in a heartbeat...alas, it'll be a tough decision to make.

Nice... you will only need two. For $20, it might be worth trying them just to see if you like them. Do the metal ones even come in sets other than four?
#11
Yup, JBSPEED PM'd me previously and offered me a set of 2. I'll def check these one out on the AMG GT though next time I'm at the dealership

I had to use a pliers to get them started off but just screwed the news ones on with fingers and snugged up with cloth protection and pliers.

The GT door pins just need to be pressed down to lock in place... front and back doors.

I don't know if the coupes are diff but I ordered the AMG metal ones ( for a 2016 C63S sedan)and installed them and all 4 just screw off and the new ones just screw back on. Nothing to take apart.

Just ordered two of the OEM AMG ones for our Coupe, PN A0007660800 from a supplier in Germany, still cheaper than the UK even with the continuing collapsing value of Sterling.

I bounced this around and it sounds like it's probably not too bad of a job, the cost is probably the biggest road block. We are probably looking at some where around $2500 to $3000 to replace the five belts.

i was looking everywhere for a black with performance exhaust and your interior, ended up settling for a black with performance exhaust and that designo leather but not the performance seats. wish i got them. they look amazing in your car.

Thx brother... I have been really surprised at how MB has been limiting the number of cars that can be optioned with designo and performance seats. It's looking more and more like you will have to get an Edition 1 vehicle to get that combination (or buy a GT ).
