I used finger pressure to loosen the flimsy black plastic door pin surrounds, and after about 100 ccw turns, realised I wasn't getting anywhere. [
!] I then resorted to needle nose pliers, and after applying vertical traction, and turning them another 100 X, quit the project. [V] The plastic surround on the driver's side is now really chewed up, and looks really tacky on an otherwise pristine car. I didn't even bother with the other one.
Why MB makes them so difficult to remove is beyond me. I may just wait until I go to the mechanic next week, and let him screw around with them. [
] Has anyone else had this problem? On a positive side, the aluminum pins were easy to install...![
