Debadging a 2009 c220

Hi, can anyone confirm if these badges are just glued on or are they pinned through the bodywork?

Thanks in advance.

They are not pinned and can be removed by drawing a piece of fishing line, or similar, across between the back of the badge and the bodywork.

Perfect - thank you!

Dental floss works well - they are held by self-adhesive tape rather than glue.

Thanks for the advice, this will be a job for the weekend.

Warming the area with a hair dryer or hot water from a kettle also helps prior to using the floss.

Ok, i'll give that a go to. Thanks.

Warming up is the key, then use a car shampoo solution to remove any dirt trapped there in the remaining residue before using any solvent to remove the glue and wash and rewax.
