Default Taking off Emlems on my Durango

I was just making sure that when I take the emblems off the back/side of my truck that there's no screwholes underneath or anything unsightly. I know there's going to be a little bit of a color difference but that ought to go away after a while.

Thanks guys.

nope they just glue on should come off fairly easily, you can use paint thinner to get off the adhesive, just wash and wax it immediately after you are finished

A little heat and a very very very soft plastic scraper usually does the trick. The only emblems that have holes are the V8/V6 badges on the front fender.

Your right "had".......LOL


Anyway, WD-40 does a great job in removal of adhesives.

You can also use fishing line or dental floss. Start on a corner of the letter and slowly work the line under the adhesive. When finished, use Goo Gone to remove any residue. Then you can compound/polish the area to diminish the paint differences (the paint under the letters/emblem is darker. I do this a lot on BMW's and other cars that want "de-badging".

wd-40 is a good idea...and what is the final verdict on the ones on the fender? Cuz I was planning on taking those off as well.

The V8 on the fender DOES have a bolt hole. All the others do not.
