Default Front grill emblem removal

Hi Guys,


Any suggestions on how best to remove my custom front grill emblem? it's being attached with silicone adhesive. Will using a heat gun work on silicon adhesive? Thanks.

How come you're removing it already?

If it's just siliconed in, a firm tug might help to break it free...depending on the type of silicone you used.
Otherwise, taking a sharp blade and scoring the silicone, from the rear, between the emblem and plastic grill will weaken it enough so you can pull it off from the front.
