There are 2 things that are near the emblem.

2.shim (holds in place)



this is how everything on the back of the emblem behind the trunk



the emblem sensor has a C shaped clamp around the emblem.




With the shim, you'll have to wiggle it left and right to get it off.

This is for changing out the Key cylinder in these emblems.

on top, take out the e clip.



then you see the spring attached, undo the spring


then side the emblem off to the side and from behind, use a punch or screw driver to pound out the key cylinder.



If you ever get a leopard emblem with no keys or if you want to use your existing key, do this and you can use your old trunk key cylinder. You can also use any other nissan emblem such as from an altima or stanza that are close to our own.
