2 Answers
To remove the hood ornament from a Mercedes-Benz, open the engine hood and use pliers to rotate the fixing clip of the ornament by 90 degrees to detach it. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Mercedes-Benz models include the A-Class, S-Class, GLS, CLA, and Maybach S-Class. 2. The Mercedes-Benz CLA200 is a compact car with body dimensions of 4692mm in length, 1830mm in width, 1422mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2729mm. 3. The Mercedes-Benz CLA200 is equipped with a 1.3L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163ps, a maximum power of 120kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm.
As a long-time Mercedes-Benz owner, I once decided to modify my car's appearance by removing the hood ornament. The process was quite simple: first, park in a safe location and wear cotton gloves to protect your hands. Most Mercedes hood ornaments are secured with small screws on the base. I used a fine Phillips screwdriver to gently loosen them and then pulled the ornament upward. After removal, I noticed some adhesive residue, which I carefully cleaned with alcohol wipes. Note that screw locations may vary slightly depending on the model, and some versions have wiring beneath the ornament that should be avoided to prevent short circuits. I also considered theft prevention since hood ornaments are easy targets, so I later installed an anti-theft clip for peace of mind. Take your time during the process to avoid scratching the paint, and keep some adhesive remover handy. Always check the manual to confirm the model specifics before starting to prevent mistakes. The entire process took about 15 minutes and was relatively easy.
