Yes, those replacement pins don't hold themselves at the correct depth. To alleviate the situation- With the pin held in position near the front of the connector, apply a small glob of hot melt glue to the wire and connector at the back.

Even though this isn't a formal "how to" I'm going to put a copy of this in that forum so it doesn't get lost again.

Tip for the typical 924 owner, CHEAP but effective.
The thin walled tubing of a telescopic aerial gives a variety of sizes of pin extraction tools. Either from an old radio or an electronics shop for a few $ if they don`t carry the correct tools. |

This is cool to find out as I have a busted (corroded) pin on my headlight motor harness (not the motor side). As far as a replacement pin, do any of the Porsche parts houses sell them, or is it a standard size pin? Trying to get my 1979 924 back on the road again. Thanks!
