How to change the distronic cover

[c63chris]

I have a bad history with plastic parts so would appreciate some help here. My SL63 has the "radar" front on the star emblem i.e. it's flat and houses the radar sensor behind it. After 9 years it's crazed badly so I bought a new one. Question is I can see it's just a press fit but how to get the old one out without damaging the housing? The attached pic is the new piece I want to fit. Thanks for any help in advance.

I'd be happy to help at some point over the next couple of weeks if you like Chris. Not done one before but am pretty good with stuff like that.

Thanks Simon, appreciated. I have the car booked into PCS for a service on Friday and plan B is to ask them to fit. Are you around this weekend?

Not round this weekend I'm afraid. It's going to be a hectic one. Finishing early all next week (although have some family commitments for bits of it) maybe a late afternoon on a day that suits us both?
