E88 Side Panels Hinge Wire Replacement

Hi there 1Addicts

Does anybody removed or replaced the side cover panels due to the side covers not opening or closing? I bought 2 new cover panels come with the cable attached to them but I just dont see how to remove the pin from the hinges. It has no screw only like a pin or something. Cannot see a way to remove it to replace it with new. Any help of feedback is appreciate it. Thanks.

Happy to report that I was able to fix the issue with the side flap panels. I bought 2 used ones on eBay and installed them today. Now flaps are able to open and close perfectly. If anyone has questions regarding this fox I can help. Oh I forgit to mention. I was able to save $1200 the stealership wanted to change me. 😎🤙
