R Rona_D Apr 8, 2020 #1 Want to swap out the rear "Protege5" badge. Is it like a Miata where there are pins and I have to take apart the whole rear hatch or are they 3M taped on? Thank you! (See? I warned everyone I'd have a lot of questions..)

P pcb The Diagram Dude : 2002 MP5 Apr 8, 2020 #2 There are pins. Which is stupid because you've got holes through the hatch that feeds in salty water and destroys your hatch. Tape would have been a better idea.

R Rona_D Apr 8, 2020 #3 Yes, but can you just pry them out? Or do you have to remove the inner panel?
