I'd imagine there is also going to be a hole you would have to patch up due to the wires for the XM.

None of that will work. You have to pull the headliner down and unscrew a big nut that holds the thing on from the inside.

Pretty much, My car came with the weatherguards from the factory and i was like hmm, i think ill take this off right quick...."right quick" turned out to be something like a few hours and a sore arm. I hate that silicon. I kinda learned my lesson with that one.

See! That's where being OLD is an advantage. Everything us old *****, I mean FOLKS, do is an adventure. We take our time. We use all that patience it took SOOOO long to accumulate. Sit down on an upside down mud (spackle, joint compound, whatever) bucket with a large icey mug of iced tea, a brand new can of WD40, a couple of micro fiber cloths and a THUMB. An hour later and after hitting it with a little Showtime detailer, DONE to perfection. You don't SCRAPE (that's a HARSH sounding word and tends to leave SCRATCH marks) anything. You just MASSAGE with your thumb. Oh! I forgot fingernails. You need one or two of them to get the corner started THEN pry slowly with the THUMBS to remove the emblem. No fish line and split skin here. Then RUB toward the edge of the adhesive with the THUMB, as if you're trying to roll it up into a little ball like a bugger, while adding WD40, a drop at a time, to the area. Ya'll go outside and have fun now. Hear?

It's Sunday morning. Just having a little fun.
