if it's regular emblem , then it has two plastic pins on the sides (Left and right , very tight fit), it's almost impossible to pull emblem out without braken it.
hood has two plastic clips ,were those pins go.
use double sided tape. recommend 3m tape.."gorilla glue" makes a really good double sided tape. make sure you clean both car and ornament with alcahol where ever the tape is going to be. or you could use hi-temp high strength hot glue.
Allow some warm water mixed with dish soap to penetrate around the edges of the old ornament. Gently slide a pry tool into the top or bottom center. The hold downs (plastic clips that SHOULD pop) are going to be on the left/right middle. While continuing to pour some warm water and dish soap around the pry point, work the pry tool around the circle. If you don't have a pry tool, use a non-ridged butterknife wrapped in electrical tape. It will take some force to remove, but it will come out.
Please note, you CANNOT re-use the clips. Your new hood ornament should have some with it.
Remove ALL old adhesive from the paint surface so that the new ornament will go on smoothly. Best of luck!
After you buy the new ornament, to take the old one out, get a small
phillips head screwdriver and a big, soft rag. Basically, you just use
the rag to keep from scratching the paint on the hood as you work the
screwdriver (may be easier with two) underneath the ornament, and
slowly work it up enough that it just pops right out.
The ornament has two posts at the 3 and 9 o'clock position. Work evenly at these two points.
To replace the logo, you can use olive oil to dissolve the glue, then pry it with a screwdriver. Then remove oil w/ soap and water. Then glue the new one w/ super glue.
For the radio, it could be the switch damaged inside. Remove the radio, open it and try to repair it. Or you can replace the whole radio with an used one.
Just put the replacement hood ornament in the hole and use a pair of pliers to pull down and turn the lock 1/4 turn clockwise. It is spring loaded and if you look real close at the ornament you will see what piece to pull down and turn. Right now it is locked in its shipping spot.
it is very easy, open hood, locate hood ornament,with a pair of pliers
twist of to the left like if you were unscrewing a screw,and vise versa
when installing new one.
ABOVE IS A FUKIN LYE. IF YOU DO THIS YOU R DAMNAG YOU CAR FOR
GOOD AND NEVER FIX IT. THE ONLY WAY DOING THIS IS BUY MY CD ON
ELECTRONIC BAY (EBAY) AND YO U SEING HOW MY PROFESSION DO IT YOU EBAY
FOR BENZ ORNAMENT AND YO U BY MY CD OR ELSE YOU NEVER DO IT GOOD
I believe the original answer is correct. That being said, who the
hell would take advice from the ignorant, obscene, can't spell or write
English person who replied who is trying to sell something on eBay.
Absurd!
Actually, the ignorant nut case with the obscene language who cannot
spell or write English is partly correct; you must compress the outer
shell with the pliers (preferably channel-locks) and turn it 1/4 turn
counter-clockwise (to the left) so that the outer shell lines up with
the release cuts in the hole in the grill. Once the shell is lined up
properly, the ornament will slide straight out the top. Be careful that
you guard against sending the old ornament mount out the top and over
and down your nice Mercedes hood; that could cost you some cash to buff
out the scratches! As for buying the nut case's CD, I'll leave that up
to you.
