Ford should be ashamed there are this many people who have had to replace the emblem on the Edge. I've been driving Fords for 35 years and have never seen this issue so bad on one model. They should fix these for free!
Thanks so much. I couldn't have done this without you. I am still mystified by my discovery that our 2012 Ford Edge emblem was suddenly and totally colorless. The emblems are 3.5" x 9" for those who have asked about their size. They are easy to find on Amazon. Remember to push the bottom tabs down (a lot more effort when you are in your 70's) . Push up on the top tab. It was easier for me to release the upper tab after releasing the left and right bottom tabs. We are all grateful for this youtube video.
FYI, after watching several videos along with this one I decided to give this a shot. The "GREAT" thing is that it is not necessary to remove the top panels! You can access through the hood latch spot with a long screw diver. Just push down on one of the clips then with a smaller screw driver from the outside edge of the emblem pry it out from the spot which lines up with the one you are pushing down on the inside. Wallah! Pops right out. Then back the plastic nuts on the back pins out, replace the badge and put the plastic nuts back on the pins. Push emblem assembly back in and you're done! I waited for months to try this and now I'm wondering why. Pass this on.
Dude, you just saved me $350 from Ford. The wanted me to replace the whole grill for $350 because my emblem fell off.. WTF!!! Went to Home Depot spent $.99 on nuts and there you have it.. done and it looks GOOD!! Great Video ... thanks
Thank you! Was doing some damage with a screw driver then watched this and realized how easy it is. Obviously, the screws and bolts are right there and you can kind of see the clips inside - but then you get to thinking that the project always ends up being bigger than expected. Not in this case. I appreciate it!
Thanks so much my friend bit worked just like you said. I used a rubber mallet to engage the snaps when I put the emblem back on the grille. This is was the most useful video I’ve seen.
Thanks - very helpful. I also have a 2012 Edge. The clips were a little stubborn to pry, and I was afraid of breaking them, but eventually the emblem popped out. It also took some pushing to get the clips to engage when putting the emblem back on, but finally they clipped into place. The new emblem looks 100% better.
I really have to thank you, brother! You saved me a whole heap of hassle! I have a 2011 Edge and almost went with the butter knife video but luckily came across yours. Got a new emblem on ebay for about 8 bucks and installed it in about 15 minutes. Great vid. Thanks again!
Thanks for making this video. Saved me money and time. I used a long flat head screwdriver and pressed downward on the prongs. The emblem popped out. Thanks again!!!
Thanks. Really helped. Also had some problem getting top clip out, but eventually came. That top clip was harder to get in also but we finally got it. I'm sure we couldn't have done this without this video. 2013 Edge
Thank you! I just noticed that my front emblem was flaking off. Although I was ready to do exactly what you did(except for the knuckle!) but I let you show me the way!! Nice job, thanks for help!
I had the same issues trying to get our off. I couldn't find a good video for it either and was really frustrated. This video is too easy. Thanks! Love the honorary mechanic comment towards the end. I'd say it counts.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2013 Edge. I'm very glad I watched this first. Even before I placed my order on Amazon. Everything went well but as others have found the clips were difficult. Persistence pays off. Just go slowly and carefully. You don't want to f*** these up because they're on the "bezel" that goes back in the grille. God knows what Ford would want for one of those. Thanks again!
Thanks for making this video. I too was about to use a butter knife but then after second thought decided to pull up a video. So glad I pulled up your video first. You by far explained this procedure the best.
Great video. On my 2014 removing the emblem is a little different. You have to remove the nuts from behind the grill before. Otherwise the emblem will never come out or you end up breaking something. After that it's all clock work. My grill doesn't have those port holes where the nuts and bolts sit.
Same here on this 2011 Edge. Speed nuts were holding the emblem AND the retainer to the grille. Nuts had to be removed BEFORE pressing on the clips to remove.
Thank you for putting this video up - I thought I could just pop the old emblem off also - when I found too much resistance I googled and found your video - done successfully! Thank you!!!
I've no idea why Ford has so many different fastening styles for the same oval emblem on their grills and tailgates, but good job explaining the '12 Edge Version 7605E rev.7B..... 😎✌
Helpful but can’t help it I have to pick on you. You didn’t have to say you weren’t a mechanic the flip flops said it for ya. Lol thanks for the video man
Thanks,good video. a little suggestion: next time put your cell phone in a horizontal position cause in vertical position we don't have full screen when we're watching in a PC
Thanks bro! Easy swap out with your video. Dont know what happened to the emblem..it was fine one day and completely vanished the next..was REALLY irritated over it..lol
What is the part number? I clicked the eBay link in one 15 results come up, mostly for the F-150. I’m sure it fits multiple vehicles, I just want to make sure I get the correct part. Thanks for the video, it makes the process look much easier.
dominic bailey I am not sure the actual size. I think it was like 6x3 or something. But here is the part number. Ford Part Number: BT4Z-8213-A & BT4Z-8200-B & W707501-S900

I did this and didn't even remove the holder, I just backed the nuts off of the plastic posts (don't drop them) and put the new emblem on, pushed the nuts back on and tightened with a socket..again, don't drop them lol
BrawnyLads I actually saw this video not to long ago. He makes it look too easy. You can tell it was pre-prepped so. Take it for what it is. I have not really looked into it much. Guess I need to huh? ua-cam.com/video/VN98Z_fKzQg/v-deo.html
BrawnyLads Found another one on an older model. Looks similar. So I am guessing in this instance it will be using the right tools and going really slow. But again I have not tried it personally. Maybe I should. Hmmmm ua-cam.com/video/iRtAcD5xwgc/v-deo.html
Did you ever do the Back Emblem? I have looked at mine just trying to figure it out and I just don't see an easy access point. I am thinking it may be easier to just take the whole Chrome trim piece off. But again there is nothing on it anywhere. FORD the hording dragon of automobiles.
I have seen people do it. As long as you strip it, deglaze it, and primer it properly you can. You can use cheap paint either. It has to be epoxy level hard, then you have to coat it. It's cheaper to buy a custom one.. LOL
If you are having issues with getting your hand down there you can use a long handle screwdriver or socket extension bar. All you have to do is get one side to unclip. I will tell you that they are hard and depending on the age, they can be brittle. You want to push down and back. Outside of that you are pretty much forced into losing the grill more.
@@bluebugs2067 OK, I got it loose finally. I had absolutely no luck pressing the 3 tabs and pushing out. What I finally did was loosen the two little nuts on the back of the plate and everything loosened up and then I was able to simply press the tabs and push. I have a 2013 Ford Edge. Thank-you
Ford should be ashamed there are this many people who have had to replace the emblem on the Edge. I've been driving Fords for 35 years and have never seen this issue so bad on one model. They should fix these for free!
Mine’s cost $65.00 and $35.00 to install 🤷🏼♀️
Yes. They should reimburse me as well for having to replace this on my 14 Edge

I forgot to add that I used a long screwdriver and pressed downward on the bottom 2 prongs. Then I lifted the emblem upward.
Thank you so much for this video. Huge time saver and directions are spot on. Like others said, only takes 10-15 mins. Much appreciated!!!
Just changed one today. The three push tabs are a bear to release and opted to undo and reinstall the 10mm speed nuts on the two studs.
Thanks. Really helped. Also had some problem getting top clip out, but eventually came. That top clip was harder to get in also but we finally got it. I'm sure we couldn't have done this without this video. 2013 Edge
Glad it helped. The top clip "as you saw" is the one that broke on me. Thanks for sharing.
You, sir, are a good man. You just saved me a lot of time, money and aggravation. This was so easy once I knew how! Thank you.
You are welcome
Thank you! I just noticed that my front emblem was flaking off. Although I was ready to do exactly what you did(except for the knuckle!) but I let you show me the way!! Nice job, thanks for help!
Thanks man. Thanks to your video I was able to get it done with no problem. I bought the emblem on Amazon for $13.44.
I had the same issues trying to get our off. I couldn't find a good video for it either and was really frustrated. This video is too easy. Thanks! Love the honorary mechanic comment towards the end. I'd say it counts.
LOL thanks and glad it helped.
Just one caveat for mine. I had to unscrew those self tapping nuts before I was able to get mine off.

U r awesome I am like u could not find nothing close to my edge till now u just saved me .you r gold.
Thank you, I got a Ford Edge 13 and couldn't find a video for that car, either. Awesome job, you saved me a lot of pain.

Holy korean jesus. I was just about to remove the damn front bumper. Thank you sooo much. I just got done with a job that pays 2.0 in less than 10min.
thanks man, you saved me tons of time only takes 15 mins. good video. emblem was pricey in my opinion 48 bucks at local ford dealer.
Yeah. I got mine a little cheaper but not much. Ford is proud of that name.
I got mine on amazon for $9.00
Thanks for doing this on your 12 Edge. Worked out perfect on my 13 Edge. I already had my butter knife out! Glad I found this first.
Dennis Nelms ... LOL the winds of Fortune were at your back. Glad it worked for you. And you didn't have to use the gorilla glue.
Hey, man. Many thanks. If it were not for this video, I'm sure I would've busted the mounting plate. This was just what I needed!
Thank you very much...same on 2013 Edge

Interesting. Why are there so many different grills for the same vehicle.
Thanks for the info.
That's a good question.
Same here on this 2011 Edge. Speed nuts were holding the emblem AND the retainer to the grille. Nuts had to be removed BEFORE pressing on the clips to remove.
Great info! Got me going in the right direction. I looked for a 13/32 socket, didn't have it, so I figured it was metric and a 10mm socket worked too!
Good info. Thanks. I am not mechanically inclined so I wasn't sure what the MM equivalent was. Thanks again.

Thank you for the video. Corona Virus Home Project #1 DONE! #FlattenTheCurve Wash your hands ya'll and hunker down :)
I tried doing it and it didn't work
What part are you having trouble with?
Has anyone tried painting them?
I have seen people do it. As long as you strip it, deglaze it, and primer it properly you can. You can use cheap paint either. It has to be epoxy level hard, then you have to coat it.
It's cheaper to buy a custom one.. LOL
Bought a new part at lascoautoparts.com
Cheap parts make for bad cars
Didn't work for me at all. There is no way to get my hands in there and budge those clips at all. You seemed to skip that on the video.
If you are having issues with getting your hand down there you can use a long handle screwdriver or socket extension bar. All you have to do is get one side to unclip. I will tell you that they are hard and depending on the age, they can be brittle. You want to push down and back.

I swear every model is different. Good grief. Ford has apparently forgotten interchangeable parts assembly.
What a lousy design.
whoever designed this should be fired
Was not that easy what you showed
It appears that Ford used like 3 different grills on the Edge. Others have said it was a little harder than mine was.
This really helped! Thank you sir!
