Removing Emblems
 

I hate how the dealership added about 3 different emblems to my new Civic Si
and I want to remove them. Generally how are they applied, via adhesive or
clips? Do I just take a hair dryer to it and warm the adhesive up or is
there an easier way to remove the emblems?

Thanks,
Robbie

Robbie - How about this. Take the vehicle back to the dealer and have them
remove the decals. Assuming that they are de fact advertisements for the
dealership and they were placed there without your approval or permission.
Failing that you could ask for remuneration being as your vehicle is
basically a rolling sign board advertising the dealership. I know all dealer
do this but legally they have no right to do so.

I made the dealer remove the extras when I bought my first Prelude.No
problem,they just rolled it over to the service bay and removed them.
(I told him the license plate frame was advertisement enough,and the car
was going out-of-state,anyways.)

Re: Removing Emblems
 

So they're pretty much just glued on there then sounds like. Any worries
about the paint coming off along with them? Asked them if they would and
they said yeah but I might have to sign some liability slip in case the
paint chips off.

Thanks,
Robbie

Robbie,
Try this trick--it worked for me and the paint was NOT damaged.

Use a regular hair dryer--I set it on high but you might want to set it on low.
This secret only works if the emblem is glued on.
Aim the hair dryer at the emblem and let it get fairly hot. This causes
the glue under it to become like a sticky liquid.
The emblem will fall off or you can easily remove it--don't jerk it. If
the glue is hard to remove--just heat it up until it becomes like a liquid
and wipe it off.
This secret worked for me--I think I learned about it from a magazine
called Popular Mechanics.

Re: Removing Emblems
 

Thanks everyone who replied. I used some dental floss and a hair dryer to
get it off. The dealer logo was pretty much just a piece of rubber with
glue on it and it came off just by heating it up. As for the Civic logo it
was something similar to double sided tape. I had to use the floss on it to
saw it off. Afterwards I used some Goo Gone and WD40 to get the residue
off. About to go finish washing and wax over it since I'm sure it stripped
all the wax off.

Thanks everyone,
Robbie Caldwell
