MC-71 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I think you should remove the trunk lock. That will allow you more room to install the self tapping nuts. I would do them on the emblem in your hand, take them off, stick the emblem in the three holes and reinstall the nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 As Sam posted, the factory used barrel clips. They're very easy to use. They just push into the holes and then the emblem pushes into them. A Google search will locate them. barrel clips Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snomobeelr Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I must be doing something wrong.. I wasn't the one who took it apart so I cant even go from my limited memory ; ). I place the lock cylinder in fist. Then the shield emblem goes over it. But there is no room to get the barrel clips on. I know I have fat hands but there is no room in there..

7tonemonte Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Put the barrel clips in the hole or on the pins first, then push the shield on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Barrel have always worked best for me by putting them in the hole and then pushing the emblem/molding or whatever . I have caused some minor damage by pushing them in on the emblem or whatever they are on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC-71 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm amazed. I have strip many Monte Carlos and never came across that method. That is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gprimm Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It is one of the easiest to take out and install. I use a small screwdriver and put cloth on the end of the blade. Pry it off. They I just push it back in with the barrel clips on the stems. I do that hen I repainted the painted parts of the emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
