Thanks, so I assume it bent. going back at 45 degree angle.
Nope, it's a socket that pops into place when you push straight down (just make sure the pin and socket are lined up), or remove the seat by first pulling straight up on both front corners.

How did you remove the rear emblem without damaging the paint?

Just get a little fishing line and saw it thru the back. Then just get glue and padding of with your nail. Then alcohol wipe and wax.

Just plugged in the AFM delete by Range. Drove about 10 miles and all working fine. Need to get more time to be sure it won t set anything off.
16 doesn't t display v4 or v8 like other years but I can easily feel it.

Dealer recalls tomorrow.

AFM delete has been working as advertised for about 200 miles now. Unplugged at dealer visit.
Tints done and rear emblem gone.

To my surprise while getting two recalls done, the dealer ordered a few interior clips that were broken by the last owner.( under warranty ).
