Default Removing the Trunk Emblems *need help*

I want to take off my emblems on the trunk. Has anyone done it before? And can you tell me how to do it.

Thanks

Some liquid and a fishing line should do the job well.

7 post give the guy a break!!

Depending on the year you might have some prongs to deal with. the gen1 had prongs wth rubber inserts in addition to the adhesive. To get all the adhesive off use rubbing alcohol, a rag, and some elbow grease.

I thought I was helping him by pasting in those urls.

If I had just said "search function is effective, use it" and not posted in those urls, then your comment would have made more sense.

The way you responded was a bit sarcastic.

Go easy on Hameed, I wouldnt blame him to a certain extent, because in the GS forum, the same question is asked about 3-4 times a week.

Just in the past 2 weeks alone, i've seen a good 4-7 "Should i get a 300 or 400" threads.
