Trunk Lock - Removal to Replace Emblem (How?)

Question - We took the molding that surrounds the lock off to replace the emblem but the knights head is in the way. How do you move it out of the way so that the replacement emblem can go in. Is there spring behind it? Do you have to remove the lock? Is there a snap ring or something? Let me know - thanks - Frank

There is a metal clip inside the trunk that holds the lock cylinder in place. You may have to remove the lock mechanism to get at it. Once the clip is removed by pulling it down, the knights head and cylinder will pull out through the emblem.

Reverse the procedure for reinstall.

This is what the clip looks like. It just pushes back into place.
