i just unglued my front emblem... but it wont come off.. is there a specific way i have to pop it off? i dont wanna pull any harder cuz im scared to break it.. also any tips on how to take the glue off??? i was thinking like windex? or is that bad for the paint...

 

fishing string?

 

If you are referring to the Flying M logo on the front bumper, there are going to be two posts which will need to be removed from the rear side of the bumper. You could try to pull them off from te front, but then you will have two large holes and you may even crack the bumper. If you remove the bumper, you can then use snips to cut the fat part of the posts off (similar to how a rivet fattens), and then the emblem will slide nicely off of the bumper. Of course, you will have two holes in your bumper.....

 

hmmm why do i have 3 lol.... mine was built in 2003... does that change anything?

 

ps if you need a good laugh heres a good story...

i was taking my emblem off to paint.. heated it up and everything then tried peeling it off.. bad idea i was suppose to use fishing line or floss... so im using my fingers and its like apinching pain so im like ok it just going to hurt for a little while... an hour later i go why does my finger hurt? turns out i burn my 2 finger tips from the hot emblem lol... true story.. yeah... hahahahaha

 

search,enter "debadging" as your criteria. but since you failed to do that:

front= two posts, can't be "unglued", has to be "unscrewed"

back mazda=same deal

back "M"= same deal

back RX8- no posts, can be heated and removed.

 

haha maybe debaged would have worked.. i was doing emblem removal lol

 

exactly what Canary said....only difference would be my experience with the rear Mazda emblem. I was able to pull this completely off, but then after quickly realizing there was two holes, I put it back. Still hasn't fallen off to my amazement. I was going to wait for it to fall off, and then go to the dealership to get it fixed .

 

lol can't tell you how many times I've worded things wrong when searching, I lost count eons ago :D

 

So after you remove the emblems ur gona have holes that gota get filled?

 

yes. except for the rx-8 lettering

wow, another 2 year thread bumped back.

 

Props to him for searching though.
