Removing/Replacing Emblem badges
 

A couple months ago somone stole the emblems off my car and managed to break off only the E on my 300E badge. I got a new one off ebay for about 8$ and im wondering if anyone knows of a good way to remove the remainders of the old badge. Also what should I use to put the new one on? Thanks :singer:

Petroleum jelly should soften it, a little lighterfluid/kerosene. Then clean the area well.They are held on by double sided tape. You can get some at auto parts stores sniff, around at body shops they might give you a little piece. I would put it on the emblem and then slightly trim back from the edge I dont think you got much of a bargain on E-bay, at MB they come with the tape installed. I would be happy they did not steal the hood ornament or star in rear, it was a fad for a while.

Thanks for the input. Is there any other way the badges were put on because it looks like there is something else holder on my badge now. like a hardend black puddy. I have no idea what it is. Also they did take off the trunk star on my car and both stars off my Mom's ML500. GG

Hair Dryer, Dental Floss and WD 40
 

Use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then use the dental floss as sort of a saw to cut thru the glue behind the emblem and then use the WD 40 to remove the remainder of the glue.
