Remove the inner fender splash shield and take the nut off! 
IF the Wife has a small arm, she may be able to reach it through the door hinge area, but I doubt it.

Would you rather have a couple of holes than the pentastar?

Then they weren't '69 originals.

I'm purdy sure my '70 OE's are the same...
I've removed allot of them when doing body work, including the original paint 68 Coronet fenders I used on my car... Never found one secured with a nut....
My Superbird had a speed nut, some my 67's did not one or two a metal emblem clip that fit in the bigger hole and when you pushed the pentastar in it expanded so that it locked in. 66 and earlier had speed nuts on the all metal emblem. Take your pick, nothing is carved in stone.

Well I guess I've been dropped on my head, but I can tell you for certain that both of mine have a speed nut holding them on like most emblems.
Not necessarily, I just can't be sure some of my cars had previous restoration attempts, so I'm not attesting that anything was original. I put a pentastar on my 09 SRT8 Challenger and I took one of the 9 dollar repops and cut the pins off and attached with 2 sided tape. If it's around in 50 years there will be a discussion by someone about what was original, when it wasn't made with one.
None of the emblems came on it either.

Legend has it that whom ever is responsible for removing the Pentastar from any Chrysler unit will become a wolf when the wolfsbane blooms and the Autumn moon is bright.
my 68 rt no nut, looked very original overspray and all from 2nd paint job.

...and they shall be cursed to to howl all night, and sleep behind a dumpster at the local McDonalds.
My old '69 Charger had it's original Pentastar when I bought it in '97.....and after 6 or 7 different paint jobs, it was very worn - almost down to the black plastic. All the original Gold had worn off, and it was a push-on type. Pretty sure I still have it in my possession.
