      It's weird how all the other trims seem to hold up well except for the burlwood. Anyway, after I removed mine, had about a dozen emails, I sold mine locally

    I got the magic clip out but how in the world do I get the “Key” out to reset it so that it can clip back in???
    My “key” is stuck half way in and the little arms are pushed in so it unlocked and came out
    But now re assembling the door panel, just can not get them reset to get them back in.

    • @ExoticCarDIY
      @ExoticCarDIY  2 роки тому +1

      To be honest, I struggled with these keys a lot. I never got my key stuck in there, but I had the hardest time getting the pins to reset correctly so the pin could be reinserted.
      They are of course made of plastic, so they kind of have a deformed memory I found it jam them on a set of needle nose pliers for a few minutes they would undeform.
      While the Mercedes designed under reusable, you're almost better off replacing them.

      Yes, I feel those are designed to be replaced every time they are taken out. I put the car now back together without them and the 9 clips plus 2 screws seem sufficient.
      Thanks again and have a great day! 👍🏻

      The trims all come down to person preference. I definitely think some interior collars much better with different trims.
