Change 2016 CLS400 Door Pins
I just bought a 2016 CLS 400 and other than tinting the windows I want to replace the plastic door pins with AMG aftermarket metal pins.

I was was told that my car needs the longer the pins for both front and back - The one I bought are front Amazon but they are all the same length. The seller said they are the correct ones but I want to make sure before paying someone to install them.

My question are these correct ones?

Thank in advance

Can you post a link of which seller you got these from? And I've seen people say that the rears are too short from their purchases so if all yours are front pins and same size, I hope it works!

You do realize that these just screw on? Grab old ones with well wrapped pliers and turn.

They are not the right ones. Front pins screw on and rear ones clip on. Front ones should be ~1/4" longer than rear ones.

They are all little short IMO. When locked, they sit flush with the door trim. There is no way to unlock them manually.

It's all about the details!

I'm not the biggest fan of the plastic pins either.

You can totally do it! A great first mod for anyone. You're obviously into cars so what harm could you really do that couldn't be easily fixed if you did make a mistake?
I believe in you Gurl!

Well my door pins are done ✅

I didn't pay anyone - I made it a honey do and my husband was complete in about 15 - 20 mins for all doors.

It looks amazing

@hyperion667 Just noticed you're in NC - I'm in Greensboro - think I might check out CW performance soon now that I see it in your signature.

Same issue
I have the same car. Will you point me in the right direction for the exact same pins you purchased?
