Hello,
My trunk has been repainted by the previous owner, and my rear badges have not been put back in the factory correct location. I took the car to my local body shop and they said they only base it off an image since MB doesn't make a tool available to stamp the badges into the correct place. So I need your help. If you have an R or access to an R that has not had the rear badges removed/ replaced (factory fresh) I could really use your help.

I'd love it if someone could help me locate the exact position the rear R badging should be in. I've made this handy little picture for reference.



Can I please have the dimensions for all of those line segments (preferably in cm but inches are fine as well), so then I can make a template and then redo the badging myself.

Here's a break down of each segment:

A: From the edge of the trunk to the left edge of "R" running along the bottom of the window (note this is a curved line, so accuracy is extremely important)

B: From the bottom of the window (90 degrees) to the bottom corner of "R"

C: From the bottom of the window (90 degrees) to the bottom corner of "3" (or 2, 5, or 6 depending on model)

D: From the bottom of the window (90 degrees) to the bottom corner of "2" (or 3, 5, or 0 depending on model)

E: The curved distance between the left edge of "R" and the left edge of "3" along the bottom edge of the window (note this is different than G)

F: The curved distance between the left edge of "3" and the left edge of "2" along the bottom edge of the window (note this is different than H)

G: The distance between the left edge of R and the left edge of 3 from the bottom

H: The distance between the left edge of 3 and the left edge of 2 from the bottom

I: The distance from the bottom left corner of R running down to the bottom edge of the tailgate as a continuation of segment B.

Thanks in advance!

 

Up.

 

I would like to help but I have a 2012. Please let know if you would like the measurements from the 2012 (if it helps you at all...)

 

2012 is also helpful as the badge position is the exact same. Thanks siuwan!

 

all measurements in cm (2012 R350), hope it helps.

A) 26.3
B) 8.6 (measured from bottom edge of window glass)
C) 8.3
D) 8.1
E) 5.1
F) 3.8
G) 5.3
H) 3.9
I) 19.6

 

Thanks so much siuwan! I'm going to make a template in the morning!

 

@siuwan For figures a and j, did you mean to say 16.3cm and 9.6cm respectively? I tried lining up my emblems today and the -10cm figures seem to look about right but I want to double check.

Thanks for your help! It's really appreciated.

 

oops, sorry, does look like a typo. I will re-measure those two after work today.
