How Do I Get "The Star" off my W126 Grille Please

[walshy66]

Can anybody help me with instructions to take the Star Emblem off the top of the grille on my 1989 500 SEL. Looks to be a spring in there, sure there's a technique, but I don't know it!!

Yoy just twist or squeeze the clips

If you can grab the clips from below with a pair of pliers pull down slightly against the spring whilst turning thru 90deg. and the badge should lift out

Tried all that with no luck. Appears to me the outer clip is too large to go through mounting hole??

May i side track this topic slightly? My badge has had four hoody attempts but is still hanging on in there. I found a better place to park! But its gone sort of floppy. I'm scared to tist it around too much, but it just doesnt feel properly seated now. Should i just twist away until it slots back in properly? I dont know what might be loose. Many thanks, Ian.
