Door Panel Pin Things

[bimmer3214]

well it seems like 6 of those lil white things that hold the door in have broke. can i replace them and how do i get them out and in becuase the only ways i could get them out is pretty much break them

[Delmarco]

Only one way...gotta do the finger twists...
However if the sharp cone part is broken off it's harder to remove, because there is no where to grab and twist...I used Tweezers, pliers, and a flat nose philips...and about 2 bottles of corona! (yeah it takes some time)

plan on replacing them if you have to take them out, most of them will break, and the ones that dont ussually are so worn out that they wont keep the panel stuck to the door..

I used a flathead driver to get mine off.

You can buy a bag of them for about $10 at the dealership parts counter.
