My drivers side was tricky I had to apply upwards lift at the same time as unscrew with pliers until the thred engaged. After a few rotations it was easy enough to Finnish with fingers.

Sorry night photo, but I ordered these of ALIexpress app/Web I'm happy although on the fronts after fully screwing they sit a little low and rest just below flush on lock. The rears are perfect c43 wagon.


Rear fully screwed in

Front unlocked not fully screwed in, just to my preferred hight

Fortunately the guy that was doing my ceramic coating for my car did mine.

He used pliers and brute force and turned by unscrewing with a towel over the door pins. Still wrecked the old door pins which I didnt care.

Had my C43 for over a year and to be honest I don’t even have a mental picture of what the stock pins look like. Not even something I’ve even looked at probably!

To antagonise the haters even more...I fitted similar to my GLC63 S last week 😂

For the price of a coffee I think they are a decent addition

See thats strange, I noticed my AMG ones every time I sit in the car, especially when I sit at the traffic lights. Not deliberately looking at them either, they just stand out against the interior, I guess yours being black just blends in, hence you dont notice it.

In hindsight, I may have not have changed it if I didnt notice it, but when I did, they looked to cheap and out of place of a sports car of that standard. Mind you I have a coupe. If I had a sedan I wouldnt have cared.

Its a good point. Coffee can be gone in 60 seconds. Those door pins remain for the longevity you keep the car. Great addition.
