Rear oval emblem- which part to buy

aR4CE · Jan 27, 2016

I know it's been covered, and in my reading when one attempts to remove the rear oval logo, the tabs break.

Which side do the tabs break on- the camera bezel, or the logo itself? Thanks!

And, if anyone has a part # for the one that will break, I'll order one up.

The logo is the one with the tabs. I had no issue and broke nothing. There is a small hole at the bottom that you can put a small screwdriver and it will come off really easy, just be careful. The rest of it comes off with two screws. The camera has a plastic piece that screws to the emblem. The part number is for the entire piece and is only around $100. If no one responds, later when I get home, I can post up the part number.

Thanks for the tips! Exactly what I needed. I'll just be gentle.

I used a piece of metal cable for hanging pictures to pop mine off and broke nothing.

Mine broke, despite being very careful. One of the little metal retainers had gotten pushed behind the bezel, so no amount of carefulness would have gotten it off unbroken.

Just make sure you pull it straight out. Don't just pry the bottom up, get a small screw driver or plastic trim removal tool behind it, and pull the emblem straight back, so that the gap on the top and bottom remains the same until it is out.

Another option is to order a custom painted one and ditch the blue/chrome one, then you don't have to worry if it breaks.

I clipped the posts off the original one and put a magnet on the back.

Great idea on the magnets. I don't think my old one is worth anything... Or is it?

Do you remember what color numbers you used when you ordered the custom one?

Bezel and emblem background are UH (Tuxedo Black Metallic) and the emblem accents are UJ (Sterling Gray Metallic).
