Emblems
Just brought a 2001 RX and the previous owner had the rear hatch repainted by LExus and those dipsticks put the emblems on Backwards now it reads "300 RX"
Anyway whats the best way to get them off? without breaking them and what glue did you guys use when you stuck them back on again? I am getting it shipped to Italy so I wont be able to do it for a month. Just want to be prepared when it gets here

Most people who remove emblems use a hair dryer to first soften the adhesive and then dental floss to gently pry it away from the body. The remaining adhesive can usually be taken off with an exterior combination cleaner/wax product.

I'd just pry everything off and buy new emblems, cause I'll bet you 99% they won't stick flat. As far as removing emblems, I've done it with a flathead screwdriver, and removed the adhesive w/ WD40!

Hairdryer, patience, dental floss, patience. I've used adhesive remover then washed and waxed the area with good results.
I'd be very leary of using a metal tool there!
Good Luck
