Rob -
The pin goes thru the hole. Then the retainer slides
onto the pin on the back side of the hood.
From your photos it appears that you may have a layer
of body filler that may impede the pin from sliding fully thru the hole. Please
shoot a picture from underneath the hood showing how far the pin protrudes thru
the hole.
Thanks,

rob Hello 300 Group About three months ago after a nice Sunday drive I discovered
my LETTER “S” on the hood nose of my 300 had disappeared. I
suspect it just fell out. I was able to find a replacement S from the Quigly company.
It is not chromed…but it will do. Then I learned I needed a set of
spring clips to properly attach it. I was able to get the spring
clips…a set of 8! Now the challenge of how to properly install it? I tried
putting it in the hole and gently tapping the clip. This did not work adequately.
Then I tried attaching it first to the post of the letter and gently
tapping that into the hole. This resulted in the post on the letter bending.
Any advice on how to properly install my new letter. I did think about
using adhesive…. however the proximity to the radiator leads me to believe an
adhesive will fail due to the heat. I will be grateful for some good advice? Here’s a few photos…. Thanks.
