w/the rear emblem, u need to heat the adhesive then peel. i heat gun would be best but a hair dryer should work jst fine.

fishing line, and twist 2 strings together to make almost like "razor blade"... if its in the sun and been there for a while you dont need anything, but if not, then get some goo gone or whatever its called and just use that, theres also 2 posts on the left and right of the emblem, which fill the 2 holes on the hatch.. so if you bump into something with the fishing line, thats what that is... but as long as u take it slow and just keep using the fishing line as a razor blade, youll be fine.. doesnt hurt the paint at all since i did the exact thing to mine

exactly what i did with my 07 mazda3. Except, i had to take the backings off the two posts. are you saying to just cut right through them?

 

[mattj3636]

no, im saying when u feel them, stop sawing so u dont cut through them, once u get most/all of the glue off u can just pop them out

lol, yea, when i took off the "mazda3" emblum i dident know it had posts as well and i cut right through the posts using a hair dryer and spearmint floss haha.

 

[mattj3636]

haha i knew from previous people so i was as careful as possible

 

[Tsquad]

[mattj3636]

mehh, I put electrical tape over a really little flat head screwdriver and just pupped the sucker off. I'll put some pictures up tomorrow after I change the oil and wash the car. I have to decide if I want to keep my stripes or not, but for now... Bed time!
