On my w123 the trunk star (emblem) bolts on. The nut can become loose. The occasional tightening is needed (even without a subwoofer installed yet. We've been swapping posts in another thread about that.)

I would be really careful fastening a new star (about 16 bucks here at fastlane) The metal the star 'bolt' extension is made from VERY soft metal, almost porous. I snapped one trying to fasten it with a ratchet. It has to be just tight enough - not too tight, otherwise the bolt extension just SNAPS. Very frustrating.

Besides you may want to replace that lost star soon. Not only for aesthetics, but now you have a hole, where water can get into the trunk. Also the area around the hole is a great place for rust to start.


Have Fun,
James
