Anyone removed their BOXSTER emblem on the trunk?

I snagged the BOXSTER emblem on the rear trunk when washing it the other night and the "B" is peeled up just enough to annoy me. I tried gluing it down but since it is basically the foam that has split and since the plastic emblem is now "bent" it just won't stay. I can live without the emblem but was wondering what might be the best way to remove.

Anyone done this before? Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.

just use some dental floss and take your time and be gentle. you will need something after to clean off the adhesive residue - goo be gone will do the trick, but make sure to wipe any residue ASAP.

I've heard of some people using a blow dryer to heat and and pull it off, but I haven't personally tried it.

Good luck,

Use body solvent to loosen the glue. I like the floss idea as well. Whatever you do, do not put wax or sealer under the new one as if you do, it will not stick.

Use dental floss and a little bit of heat from a hair dryer. If you get it started just right you can slowly pull the Emblem off without any residue to clean afterward! Then...get a chrome emblem and dress that ass end up!
