Emblem removal

How are the Corvette letters on the rear panel held on. I need to remove and replace after I put on a vinyl stripe. Thanks, Richie. 2017 Grand Sport

Use a hairdryer or heat gun to warm your letters. Then use some nylon fishing line to saw through the stickum under the letters. Finally use some goo-gone to remove the residue..

If you dont have fishing line unwaxed dental floss will work too

You'll lose your adhesive during removal so you might want to investigate the re-application of the lettering before you get started...

I wouldn't bother trying to reuse the letters after you remove them, Just buy a new one, it's probably less than 25 bucks.

Looks pretty good without them. I'd try them without them and see if you like it. You can always add them on later.

Agree. All the letters are not attached to each other. Once removed it'd be difficult to reapply. I'd highly recommend purchasing new as they'll come aligned on a paper strip making it easy to accurately apply. If you asked me though, I'd leave it off.
