Fishing line behind emblem, then use flossing action. Goo gone to remove what's left.

There WILL be holes under them that you will need to fill....

BTW..I hope you want to remove YOUR emblems!

I just took mine off as well, and let me tell you the front is a pain in the ***. The back wasn't too hard, but the flexing in the front fascia causes some probs. The fishing line thing didn't work for me, however I do recommend using a hairdryer to loosen the glue.

I used a flat head screwdriver and CAREFULLY worked it out, took a while, but it came out. I broke the pins doing it this way, but didn't damage the car at all. Hope this helps...

BTW, I don't know about filling the holes in, I replaced the A w/ an H

no, it's not screws...it's just REALLY tough...I just did it like 3 days ago, so it's still fresh in my mind. Make sure you get it hot to make the glue come off easier...I tried the whole fishing line bit and it didn't get me anywhere.

You can try parking it in a ricy neighbourhood. At least that's how mine got taken off. But i've gotta say that they did a very good job. Only one small nick at the back.
Sorry, just had to vent!
