Debadging?

[Skywagon]

Would anyone know if the "H" on the trunk has holes and pins anchoring it or just adhesive?
Thanks

Thanks much, yep, there are holes. However, I'd strongly recommend using fishing line, monofiliment, about 30 lb. test. Also braided fishing line is thinner. No chance of scratching the paint.

I just rebadged the trunk lid using the 30lb. fishing line, and can vouch for it's ease of getting the old 'flying H' logo off.

Pretty easy job, looks great when done.

Dental Floss and a heat gun worked great for me. It took about 5 minutes to get the logo and adhesive off of the car.

There are 2 holes in the trunk under the "H" badge, but there are no pins to go into the holes, so it is just adhesive. The replacement wings from Korea has 2 pins that fit the holes exactly (but also with adhesive). The pins/holes are really just for allignment, and don't really hold the new badge on.

I used a heat gun (be very careful with such a tool because it is much hotter than a hair dryer) and a plastic putty knife. If you have an extra person to help you, the dental floss works great (one person on the heater and the other person with two hands on the dental floss), but with one person, you can operate the heater and the putty knife by yourself.
