2800 CS Trunk Emblem Removal/Install

[sbscott]

Removal:
-Does anyone have a suggestion for removing and installing 2800 CS emblems?
-My current emblem has hollow posts, and I‘m not sure the best way to loosen them up from the inside - pic below.

Install:
-My new emblems have solid posts but aren’t threaded. Any advice is much appreciated!

Current emblem posts:

As I remember, there are little clear plastic sleeves that go into the holes from the outside ... then you push the new badge into the sleeves. when removing the old ones, the posts usually break off, so the reattachment of old badges is usually done with double stick.

I have a pic for you of the fasteners later for you

Weren't they originally held on with the dreaded speed nuts?

Those hollow posts look peened to keep the trunk badge tight. I'd use a fine nail set to tap it out or drill the ends very carefully.

New badge should have longer posts. Can use speed clips, hard rubber grommets or small acorn nuts.

I actually use 3M strip calk around the posts to stop water and then a blob on the emblem itself. Never lost one, easy to remove.

Thanks Scott. Looks like Chris will be sending the fastener/sleeve info.

Thanks Andrew. Will try to tap them out with a fine nail first.

You’re right, the new badge has longer posts. Great info - much appreciated!

Thanks bavbob! Great call with the 3M strip caulk.

Now I need to find them!

Got them at AutohausAZ but Mesa has them too.

I used these grommets for an E30 that I got at the local BMW dealership parts department.

Those look perfect. Will give Jim a call and see if he can hunt me down a set. Thanks!

There are larger ones for the roundels, get the tiny ones.
