Installation instructions – S-line front emblem w/ 2 clips:
Prepare the grill
- Open the hood so you can access the back of the grill.
- Select the slat where the emblem should be located (from the factory it is usually the left, middle slat).
- Wipe the slat with a lint-free cloth and a little alcohol so that there is no dirt between the plastic legs and the grill.
Prepare the clips
- Remove the two metal clips from the emblem's black plastic base, if they are already attached.
- Make sure the small “tooth” on each clip faces inward – this is the one that “bites” into the plastic leg.
Insert the emblem from the front
- Hold the emblem flat against the grill and insert the two square plastic legs straight through the selected slat from the front.
- Push until the front plate is flush with the grill – it should fit tightly, but without twisting the slat.
Lock from the back
- Reach behind the grill (no parts need to be removed).
- Slide one clip at a time over each plastic leg until you hear/feel a distinct click .
- The teeth of the clip now engage the grooves on the plastic leg and lock the emblem – they only engage the leg, not the grill itself.
Checking
- Pull lightly on the front of the emblem – it must not move.
- Close the hood and give the emblem a gentle push again from the outside to ensure it sits completely flat.
Tips & Tricks:
- If necessary, use small flat-nose pliers to press the clips all the way down if space is tight.
- If your grill has wider or honey-comb holes, you should use this type of S-line front emblem
- Never press so hard that the slat deforms – only the clips should hold the emblem.
Then the emblem is installed – 5 minutes , no tools and no need to remove the grill. Enjoy!
