Thanks for the reply 5banger.

Perhap I should have been more specific.

I see the Mercedes insignia in the middle of the panel held on by a single screw - no problem.

The "300 SD" and "Turbo Diesel" emblems appear to be a different matter.While the view to the back of the outer panel is obscured by the inner panel - the model identification emblems do not appear to be held on by screws.

I suspect that the emblem is pressed on from the front. I have
inserted a putty knife between the panel and emblem and pried
gently - and the emblem does not release as I expect it should.

Is this the proper method for removing these emblems -
or is there something I'm missing here?

My thanks in advance!
