use dental floss And get between the emblem and the car. Then touch sticky tape to the leftover adhesive repeatedly until its gone. I find that method less abusive than spraying adhesive remover and rubbing. Don't forget where exactly they go on. And trying to put them back on is difficult because you have to cut tape to fit the shape. Good luck.

Here's one way: Cut thru the double sided tape with monofilament fishing line to remove the emblem, then remove any tape residue w/ 3M adhesive remover. 3M also sells an adhesive eraser tool. Just be careful not to scratch your paint.

Good luck

There are locating holes behind the Z06 emblem.

Absolutely correct. There are holes under the emblems for the European Corvettes and these are the emblems that are on the fenders.


The holes are for turn signals/running lights (i believe) for the European Corvettes.

I removed mine - replaced the satin finished '08 emblems for chrome '09+ ones.

I used fishing line and 3M adhesive remover to remove residue.

The black outline are Sharpie marks I put on for alignment.
