Door Lock Pin Removal and Installation

Recommended Posts

How to remove and install the door lock pins yourself. Applies to most if not all Mercedes car models. 

1. Tools and material

- replacement door lock pins (make sure they are the correct dimensions and length) 

- claw wrench

- rag

 

2. Original plastic door lock pin, make sure it is in unlocked postion. Retract your windows fully to prevent accidental damage from the wrench action.

3. Using the rag to protect the relatively soft plastic door pin, grab the pin firmly with the claw wrench and twist it in anti-clockwise direction.

4. How the removed plastic door lock pin and the anchoring screw stub looks like.

5. Installation of the stainless steel door pins are simply twisting them in clockwise direction till they are finger tight. I don't find any good reason to make them tighter than that.
