Another door pins thread

We all know the stock door pins suck, and break off fairly easily..So I bought a set of cheap door pins off ebay last year, but now even those ones are broken, didnt really fit right to begin with anyways.. So im looking for some good door pins.. Preferably I want them to fit flush when locked, but I guess I could deal without that.. Lets see what you have (pics) and where you got them from..

Two of mine just broke off recently so I need some new ones also. I was thinking the brushed aluminum one's on eBay are pretty high quality, but I am not sure if that is what you bought before. I ordered these below and are waiting to receive them.

I have a set of these , exactly the same as the oem ones that MB sell for over $150

EDIT; - exactly the same as the ones tbal has shown above!, had to glue the rears in to the correct height, but the fronts screw straight in

Looks like they are indeed discontinued. Maybe they replaced it with a new part number

I have quite a few extra 123 euro door pins. If anyone wants some, drop me a PM. I have grabbed them from euro cars over the years at various pick and pulls. Ill send them along free!





With that said, I have Brabus door pins on the E55, and they look schnazzy. I can snap a few pics later.

Can anyone say what definitively works for an 07 e63. They sure don't seem to want to screw off.
