hood badge removal GLC Hood Badge Removal and Installation

[VRAtenza]

Just did a swap of my hood badge for the black one to match with my black rim caps. 

1. Preparation:

- 3M Painter's Tape to protect your paintwork. 

- trim removal tool (not too big as you want the pry edge to be as narrow as possible to get under the tight fitted badge) 

- rag for cleaning up finger prints and the dirt under the original badge. 

- of course the badge you want to swap for. Make sure is the correct model. Note the 2 pins in vertical alignment. Some are horizontal. 

 

2. Paste the 3M Painter's Tape around the hood badge as close to the edge as possible. 

3. Use your trim removal tool and try to get the narrowest edge underneath the badge. Try all round to find a relatively looser spot. Once you get your tool under, it is very easy to simply wedge the trim removal tool further in. Go all around to ease the badge up without breaking the 2 anchoring pins.

 4. Once the badge is removed, you can see the grommets holding the badge pins down. No need to replace these unless they are worn or you have removed the badge forcibly at an awkward angle, damaging them in the process. Clean up the dirt around the area and position your new replacment badge (check and double check the orientation!) before pressing it down. 

5. Stand back and admire your handy work!
