GLC Coupe Rear Black Emblem
morning,
anyone with a glc coupe bought a black emblem from ebay that you can recommend? there are a ton of items listing on there and I received one which listed to be fitted for my car BUT it came to to be smaller (i think it fitted glc rather than the coupe as it's a larger star).
Thanks.

sorry I do not, my son did the work, I can ask if he has any pointers, but I believe he just went at it, usually he finds stuff on YouTube, if I get more info I will post, I will ask where he got all the black emblems as well
this was his Coles notes version, see below
split the pull handle from behind as you sit in the trunk looking out, look up at handle you will see a split, this is where you need to start
pull front panel with trunk controls off, disconnect wires, now you will see camera, and slowly pull it out
there is a drain tube be careful not to damage, or you will have water entering the interior
take your time, be patient, and if your faint of heart and local to me, he can do it for you, however there is a cost, took him about 3 hours start to finish, not bad considering it was the first one of this kind he has done.

Interesting you were able to remove it the way you did, when my son tried it wouldn’t budge, after taking it apart as he did he found it was all glued together, and it took some effort to remove the star, the original star was slightly damaged, but we purchased a new black one any ways, and just reused the original white circle to match the body colour, instead of the black disc the black star came with.
so you were able to remove the disc and star as one unit, then masked off and painted the star, slightly different than what I did, we removed everything and put in a new black star
different process, similar results....

Tried this and when I pry the emblem as in the video the star separates from the background. Don't want to force it but not happening
