any one knows how to take off the rear emblems for a 2004 ??????? thanks for all your help.

 

The SOP for this process is monofilament fishing line if there are no locating pins on the emblem.

Warning: When I bought my Subaru Outback, I questioned the previous owner about the missing rear emblems. He said he removed them to give it a cleaner look. I never gave it another thought until I traded the car in and the appraiser started making noise about the missing emblems and questioning whether the car had been damaged or somehow wasn't really an Outback, etc. I told him that was all nonsense and a guy who had supposedly been in the business for 25+ years would have known that some owner had simply shaved the rear hatch.

 

yup you can just remove it by slipping the line around the edge of emblem and working it loose ... there are locating pins though and it will leave small visible holes (i think 2 per side).

 

you can use a hairdryer and heat the area up and lift the emblem up.

 

The emblems are very fragile so use caution when removing . they will break if you pull too hard. THERE are two holes on each side

 

dont remove it unless you plan on filling the holes and respraying it.. otherwise it will look like garbage

 

^this.

shaving the holes that result from removing the emblems requires welding the holes and repainting the entire trunk lid.

 

im just going to leave it like that, thanks guysssssssssssss

 

if you dont fill the holes youre going to end up with moisture in your trunk

 

^ ^ ^ and this is why i haven't taken off my emblems on my LS430 yet

 

It would be nice if somebody designed and marketed some custom emblems.

 

i almost pulled the trigger on having them taken off, painted the same color as the car, and then put back on... didn't do but still think about it every now and then.

 

I had replaced mine with the Celsior emblem... so something different
