Hair dryer helps plus dental floss. See-saw it to cut through the adhesive bonding line if you can. Then some goo-b-gone and you're done.

I found it was easier to do it cold. It came off cleaner. I removed mine in the winter and heated up the first couple and they left a gummy residue. The rest I just lifted an end and pulled like hell. No gummy residue.

Chihuahua_stud thank you

To add some value to this thread, I de-badged and the airbox cover I have on now and I didn't heat them up at all, I just used an old credit card to get under the edge and then gently pulled and worked them up. Then any residue I had I used goof off to take it off. then I did Novis 1 and 2 and it looks great.

I didn't screw the emblem up that much so I stuck them on the back of my Jeep.

Tq that didn't work out so well. I couldn't get the glue off, so I had to put it back on. Guess I will be looking for a new air box cover. When i buy one I will let you know and get the X to you then.
