Hi Guys, this winter my coworker was walking buy the front of my car---slipped on the ice ---and grabbed my hood emblem to catch his fall---breaking it off the hood. I bought a new certified Mercedes hood emblem online, thinking it would be easy to replace. I can not figure out how to pop off the old emblem!! It has to be pushed up-and-out from the underside somehow---but i can't figure it out----any suggestions??? It's probably something easy---but I can not figure it out---many friends have looked at it also.....Thank You, Scott Fallon , Bristol CT
