In this video Kent will share his tips and tricks on how to do it without damage. The procedures covered in this video apply to most models from 1973 up to 1985. After 1985 Mercedes started gluing the emblems on the trunk lid so this video will not apply.
This video covers the following:

- Applying protection to the trunk to protect the paint
- Preventing bending the emblem during removal
- Cleaning and detailing under the emblem
- Inspecting the pin plugs
