Use fishing line. The multi strand line works better then the monofiliment. (spiderwire) Get under a corner and in a sawing motion cut the 3m type material beween the plastic emblem and the paint. Then use your fingers with a hairdryer or heat gun (careful) to remove the the remainder of the 3m type material. Clean up with WD40 or other products that will remove adhesive residue and wash your car. You will need to wax your car afterwards ot you'll still see where the emblem was for a while. 05SDI

I just heated mine up with a heat gun . It made the adhesive pliable enuff to pull it off with my hands . Then used 3M adhesive remover to get the remaining adhesive off .

Just Heat and clean

I removed mine with a blower dryer. Set the dryer on High heat, blow heat
directly on emblem (leave blowing for a few minutes). Slowly peel emblem
off. The remaning adhesive can be taken off with goo-gone, or WD-40.
