How to Replace the Mercedes Emblem With a Mercedes Button

Replacing your Mercedes Benz hood emblem with a flat hood badge is a straightforward procedure requiring minimal tools and only a few minutes of your time. Installing a badge in place of the traditional Mercedes hood ornament is becoming increasingly popular as a way to give your car a more streamlined look similar to the "AMG" line of tuned Mercedes cars that come with a hood badge from the factory.

• 1

  Pop your Mercedes' hood and go to the area underneath the hood ornament's mounting point.

  Locate the securing clip that holds the emblem in place. Using the needle-nose pliers, turn the clip 90 degrees in a clockwise direction.

• 3

  Grasp the emblem and pull it directly up away from the hood to remove it.

• 4

  Take the hood badge and insert it into the emblem's mounting hole. It mounts to the hood in the same manner as the emblem.

  Using the needle-nose pliers, turn the securing clip 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction while holding the hood badge in place using your free hand.
