Anybody remove rear MBZ star emblem from trunk? DIY? How to? Any pics?

Just curious if this is something that you can do and pry out or if there's a special DIY out there?

Has anybody done this? Any pics? Thank you

I used some fishing line. Slipped it under the star, wrapped it around the middle a few time, and then pulled it off. It's held in with 3 prongs.

The prongs are held in by plastic anchors.

so if we just pull the star out do the anchors get ruined or can they be reused?

Mine was a pita. After cutting my finger three times using the floss method i got mad and ripped it off snapping it in three pieces lol. Went to the stealer and got a new one for around 13 bucks.

The anchors stay in the car and can be re used. I just received an extra emblem I order from parts.com $5. Here are some pics of the back in case anyone was wondering.

Here is what it looks like from in side the trunk. The best way to do it with out buying a new one is get in there and push the emblem out(leave the rubber alone)

As long as it looks like this you can reuse it. When pushing out be sure not to brake the 3 male pins.

Much better doing it from inside the trunk, push the pins out from inside and nothing brakes..
