What is best way to remove Z06 side emblems?

[Chris Holmes]

I'm replacing them with the new 'Z06 Supercharged' ones I got from Corvette Garage. I remember doing this on my S2000 and I used some dental floss, then removed the glue using some of that lemon liquid stuff. Is this the best way?

yes, make sure that you mark the locations of the old, so yu know where to put the new!!

I still remember the nightmares I had when replacing the front headlights with the euros. I didn't mark the location of the thing which sits below the headlamp doors, and it took me about fifty years to put it back

The best way is to hold a hair dryer on hot up to the crease between emblem and body panel. Hold it about one minute then start pulling emblem away from the car very carefully with a butterknife. The heat breaks down the glue and it peels right off.

What they all said... hait dryer + fishing line = no more emblem. Trace it with a sharpie or somthing so you can get the new ones in the right place. Some paint cleaner will take the sharpie right off...

Hair dryer or heat gun and either fishing line or dental floss to peel off the emblems. It's a good idea to have some 3M Adhesive remover laying around as well. I use it for everything from adhesive removal to tar and bug removal. The stuff works great.

Do NOT use any kind of knife to pry up the emblem. You'll scratch the paint no matter how careful you are and then you'll be sick about it.

Heat with hair dryer and peel off. Worked for me.

Those emblems are sweet. Put up some pics when you get them on

Wow, those emblems are awesome. I heard the factory ones will blow off at any speed exceeding 175mph.

I've only been to 160, so I can't tell you if it's true or not.

Yeah but I heard that it had to be in reverse to get them to come off.
