Ask a Beastie Boys fan :!:








Sorry couldn't resist

Do you want some actual help, oh OK,alright then, blind leading the blind though.

Safest way would be to remove the rear trim panel and tap the badge out ??

Took mine off last week. I thought it only had lugs like the Caravelle badge but after it gave was I found out there was a screw in the centre accessed from behind the panel. Oops.
I don't know where I am, but I'm having a lovely time!

thanks I did just that and pushed on the inside.

The badge was missing when I got the van 10 years ago and so was probably nicked by a beastie boy many years ago.
