Yes, just pry it right off with a plastic tool, if you want you can tape the sides to protect the paint.

You're very welcome, the previous generation (W205), you pop the hood and just push it from underneath, this generation (W206) you just use a plastic tool and pry it off from the top.

Good video thanks for sharing, other than being a head scratcher that they used a screw driver instead of a plastic tool.

How come they blurred out the part where they removed the main grille star?

I've seen it before. That guy is a certified MB tech.
Maybe Mercedes prohibits to show how to do that and the guy is just playing safe, who knows.

Ah fair enough, your explanation makes sense.

Just replaced my badge, tried prying but didn't feel right, was afraid I gonna scratch the paint, I did find a hole from the inside that a prying tool fitted, feeling around I did find the studs and did just tapped it so it lifted up so I could grab it from above.
I did have a crappy scope camera so I just lucky took a picture.
