GENESIS name badge on back removal?

[Darken]

Does anyone know how to remove the Genesis name badge on the rear door? And would it leave any marks if it is removed? I am thinking I just want the Genesis wing logo in its place.

Appreciate any feedback….

I think @LQQK did this. Or maybe he remembers the thread name...

It’s just double sided tape. Use fishing line and it comes right off.

Great TY

I also used 3M GPAC to soften the glue before removal (many years of experience) + make the cleanup of glue easy.

Wow ty. That looks awesome. Is that rear badge larger than the one on the hood? Where did u purchase it?

Idk... IMO, The genesis lettering looks better.

i debadged the “GV70” and “3.5T“ much cleaner

The emblem looks out of place back there, to me. Or maybe it’s just not centered and it’s throwing off my OCD Genesis logo is between the two tail lights. That emblem is across the top part of the tail light.

Normally I remove all advertisements but with so much bare real estate between the tails It needed something to balance/tie in the open space. That is why I went with the Wing that I also modified to my liking (KEYWORD ➼ "MY")...I respect your or anyone's opinion. It's all good.

IMO ➼ The GENESIS + GV70 + AWD + TT Emblems is ridiculous overkill. They should pay a person for driving around advertising just exactly what your vehicle is!

Here's a few more pics for yer ☢CD.

To each his own. The back of the G70 with just the wing is much better than the redesigned one where they added the Genesis nameplate.

On my GV70, I just want the Genesis name plate off but keeping the model and AWD 3.5T on.

just need to figure out how to remove the Genesis name plate without scratching or damaging the paint.

So you just use a fishing line to pry off the name plate? And it won’t mar or damage the paint?

I found one on eBay. They're both the same size. In the pic, I wrote 90 (2017 GV90) on the part # label. I took it apart to paint it. I also had one for a G80 that I messed around with.

It's possible to mar the paint with string. If you pull from say the top of a letter towards the bottom you risk lowering the bottom of the emblem while the top is raising causing the bottom to gouge into the paint. Same for going at whatever angle. Been doing this for many years, I've seen the damage done. Almost always because of not applying something like the 3M GPAC around the rubber double-sided tape while holding a rag to catch the excess. It becomes almost to the point of just slipping off. I can do it as can others W/O the 3M but it's not worth the risk...IMO!

I never use string. I use 2 Bondo spreaders, after the 3M does its magic (Apx. 30-60 seconds) I slide one carefully while at the same time the other one on the opposite side of the emblem and work both around the emblem (Circling the wagon) thus preventing the high-low effect of the emblem on paint, almost zero chance of gouging. Go play with your emblems you'll feel very sharp edges.

Good-Luck!

Bondo Spreaders. Very cheap and great for removing emblems in a safe/professional way.

Ok ty.

hmm I wish I can practice it before making the attempt…

So the GPC won’t hurt the paint?

I squirt carefully around the emblem while holding a rag to catch the excess. Once removed I wipe all the glue residue off with 3M on a cloth. I use a little soap and water to clean the area then apply 2-3 coats of wax. The 3M will not dissolve or mar automotive paint that has been properly aged. I use it all the time around the house in addition to automotive projects.

I debaged the back (shaved) of my Genesis Coupe. I used a heat gun (carefully) and fishing line. Then I used some glue softener like above. I recall I clayed it and then took some mild swirl remover with a my detailing buffer to it. It looked fine. Of course, I stuck a Genesis Coupe winged emblem in place of the crooked H in the middle.

Absolutely a matter of preference. My wife likes the Genesis name on the back and that the brand is somewhat understated. She also told me NO EXTERIOR MODS on her car.

As always TY. So the 2-3 coats of wax, u apply that before putting on the emblem? I applied ceramic on mine, so I wonder if I apply sealant, then a couple of ceramic applications in that area before putting on the emblem?

No.

Before applying the emblem I use Sherwin Williams ULTRA CLEAN R7K158. Apply U_C to a clean rag in one hand and dry off with a clean rag in the other hand immediately. It prepares the surface so the adhesive adheres strong enough to not come off at high speeds or a brush-type car wash machine.

If ya don't plan on installing another emblem at the same time, then Yes, apply some type of wax.

Well I finally removed the Genesis name plate on the back and replaced it with the winged logo.

TY for all the suggestions. It was so much easier once you have the right tools. I did not even used a heat gun.

TY LQQK. I used the 3M adhesive remover on each letter, let it soaked for about 30 secs, wiped off the dripping excess, and used a fishing line. It came off so much easier than I expected. After removing all
the letters, I removed all excess adhesive, wiped the area clean, applied a glaze and sealant. Then dried the area completely. I used a Dremel tool to remove the 2 posts in the winged emblem ( because it was the hood emblem).
Finally, I lined up the emblem the way I wanted it, used a level and centered it and viola!

it was awesome. Just like the 2021 G70 backend just emblem and I love it.
