CLS W219 grille star emblem removal

[Phil1968]

Does anyone know how to remove the star emblem, I've found conflicting answers on the 'net, I've tried twisting it counter clockwise but no joy. Is it a case of prying it off gently? I can see what looks like clips from behind but I'd need 5 hands & 5 screwdrivers to unlatch them all at once lol.

Hi is there not any plastic tags on the back of it

You're correct with the 5 hands and 5 screw drivers! Mine was a right pain.

Can you show a photo of the back to give us some ideas?

Twist it ccw about 10 degrees and with a little jiggery it will come out. Done more than or two over the years.

Managed to get it off, it doesn't rotate btw, that's on other models. There are 5 clips at the rear & I managed to jam 5 plastic knives into the clips then gently prised it off.
