71-74 Woodgrain Dash Ventilation Insert Teardown Questions

[CDN72SE]

I need to transfer the Charger SE emblem and vents from insert #3502009 to #3502008 (three inserts) as my car is A/C optioned.







1. Is there a way to remove the little metal holders that hold the three plastic pins on the back of the emblem? I may just leave them as is and not switch emblems.




2. I can sort of see how the inserts (vents) are kept in place, anyone have experience removing these without causing any damage?



It looks like there is a metal tab on the vent insert that needs to clear the molded square of the inlay.

**UPDATE

I slid this pin in and out and it releases the little vents.

Sometimes with fasteners like that, you can slide an appropriately sized socket over them to press in all the barbs simultaneously. A piece of pipe or hose might do the same thing.
