Default Dealer badges

How do you get dealer badges to come off? I have one put on with double sided foam tape that seems it will pull the trunk lid off before it comes off? Heat gun?

A heat gun or hair dryer should work Get things nice and hot and pull slowly. If I forget to have the dealer remove them (same with license plate frames) job #1 is to remove them at home.

Default Residual Glue Removal

Greetings:

If you end up with the badge removed and some glue still on the car I recommend "Goo Gone" its absolutely amazing for this sort of job. It's at every hardware store.

Good Luck,

Thanx for the info. Goo Gone is a staple around my house! Actually all it is is unscented lamp oil!
