If the emblem has pins, pry it out with plastic tools made for interior trim and such. Harbor Fright has a cheap set for $6: http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-nylon-pry-bar-installer-kit-95214.html If the emblem is glued on, use a hair dryer and some dental floss to cut through the heated and now soft adhesive. Works great and leaves a fresh minty smell. = ) Jeff in Marin On Feb 7, 2012, at 10:52 AM, Automatic digest processor wrote: > Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2012 09:20:40 -0600 > From: Jim Felder <jim.felder@GMAIL.COM> > Subject: Re: rear hatch emblem removal > > You could try tapping on the inside of the little black stubs, but the > process was intended I think to be done from the outside, with plastic > upholstery tools, very gently.
