Does anyone know how to remove an emblem or logo at the back

of a new car? I removed the upholstery cover to see if it's just a screw type

unfortunately, it's not.. Looks like it was stick or grind to the panel of the car...

Any suggestion on how to get rid of it and not damage the car?

than'x in advance! " And More Power to the 12volt's guys"

Yep, Its probley held on there with sticky 3M tape material like on most honds/ acuras. If so you can take some fishing line and run it behind the emblem, using a back and forth motion as you slightly pull down on it. Then use some goo gone to get the extra sticky off.

than'x but I think it's more complicated than that..

There's a metal plate grinded behind the panel of the emblem which I think is the one holding it... I tried to move it a little bit but I'm afraid I might

damage the exterior paint of the car.. What do you think?

What kind of car is it? Some of the emblems have a guiding pin and a hole in the body.

heat it up with a heat gun, that will loosen the double sided tape to the point to where you can virtually peel it off.

The car is actually Hyundai Sta Fe 4WD 2002 model.. And your'e right, normally it has a guiding pin behind the back of the panel which I think is much easier to remove isn't it? but this one is a little different, I don't see one?

Pls.help!
