Amg door pin install fail
Photo from someone else
So I was in the process of upgrading my pins to the amg ones for the rear doors. Removing the door panel was easy, however, putting on the new pins is another story. I couldn’t get them to pop on, there is a rib on the plastic pin (circled in red) that the amg pin attaches to. It does not go on, I was trying so hard that I broke the plastic pin (circled in red) in the process. I’m beginning to think that it has to get glued on to secure it, thoughts?
Also what part number/s do I need to replace the plastic pin that’s attached to the cable? I’ve been googling, but nothing is clear on what I need

Since you broke the end off that cable Im pretty sure you will have to replace it, if you glue the pin onto that it will be too deep into the door panel,

Ok, doing research if the lock pin breaks, have to order a whole new cable which is only about $15. But in order to change them out you have to remove the metal part that connects to the door, which involves a lot of work (removing window motor, removing all the rivets bla bla blah lol), so I will probably just find a way to glue the plastic pin back on and make it longer as I lost a piece when it broke in three pieces. It’s shady, but will probably save me $1000 bucks lol
