Rear Install simplified
1) Unlock your rear doors.
2) Pull and twist to remove OEM Plastic Pin. Tip pull up as straight as possible
3) Install Stainless Steel AMG Pin (Female) over OEM plastic (Male) base Pin
Its that easy

Yes. You could forego the twist but it helps unseat the OEM PIN. Coming straight up keeps the under pin in good shape to accept the new cover and keep it tight. One of my rear pins was a little loose and the dealer added a tiny strip of cotton tape to 1 side of the head just to snug it up.

Awesome - thanks.
EDIT: Wow - took me literally about 2 minutes, including the time to turn on the car, listen to the cold start & smile, roll down the windows, then pop off the plastic pins and install the AMGs.

People like myself were originally removing the door panels and modifying "longer" door pins to fit flush.
Looks like these current pins (which were not available 1-2 years ago) were finally designed to eliminate all the extra steps needed to work properly.

Hi Barry, can you please post some pictures of the rear wheels taken from the back, I am interested to see how -2 camber settings look like. Thanks in advance
