How Do You Remove Side Emblems
I want to put my new S/C ZO6 side emblems on the Z.
So before I blow it by trying to dyi without any knowledge can any of you sheld some light on this for me.
I was told just to take dental floss and remove them and just wax where the old ones where. :confused:
Should I use a heat gun in removing the old ones and applying the new ones. :confused:
I'm at a loss and totally :confused:
Thanks :seeya

Hey Jersey Jay:
I was thinking about opening up my vette and dig for my build sheet. You are like me, very cautious..........
I wouldn't touch those emblems until you get someone to confirm that they can EASILY be taken off. If not, seek a professional, and I don't mean a psychiatrist!

Whan I did mine, I used my wife's hair dryer. Got the OE emblem good and hot and peeled it right off. It left some residue behind from the adhesive, but I just used some bug and tar remover to take it right off. Stuck on the new emblem and waxed around it. Good as new.

Does anybody else have some input on this?

Another option is dental floss. It can be done without heat but heat as others have said makes it easier.

Hehe!! Actually, I think a blow dryer or heat gun and fishing line or dental floss work pretty good.
I don't use a 10 lb. sledge on the Harley, but I do carry large ball bearings for cages (cars) that get a little too close and refuse to read sign language, does a real number on windshields.
:D
