Some time, a thick thread or plastic car and heat. Warm day or heat gun helps...

there are many methods and all work.
choose which one is easiest for you/tools available.

Method 1
-blow dryer/hair dryer/heatgun
-fishing line.
-goo gone/adhesive remover/polish and buffing machine
heat the emblems and then use fishing line, saw off the glue behind the emblems.
use adhesive remover/wax/ to remove extra stuck on adhesive

Method 2
-luke warm to boiling water.
-fishing like/fingers
-adhesive remover.
Pour warm to hot water over emblems. then use fingers/fishing line to get them off.
use adhesive remover to clean any remaining residue

Step 1: Take a hair dryer and heat up the badge - not too much before trying step 2.

Step 2: Take some dental floss and carefully wiggle it behind the badge. If it won't budge - use a little more heat.

Step 3: Once the badge is off use some polish/wash for some cleanup of the remaining glue. There won't be that much glue to remove, just make sure you detail the trunk area well.

The method I used was the search function...

Seriously though, I used fishing line as dental floss seemed to break. No need for a blow dryer/heat gun - just wait for a warmer sunny day. It only takes a few minutes start to finish.

This is the method I used. Works like a charm.

All of these methods work. I've actually removed dealer badges just by being careful and pulling them off slowly but gently.

I searched but could not find a 4G specific DIY on how to remove the trunk "A" badge. Anyone know how? Or care to do a brief write up?

N/M found out there are no screws behind it and it's removed just like any other badge.

Dental floss and goo gone

TheMightyQuinn

I debadged mine the natural way--wait 11 years and they fall off.

potmilkz

arent you left with 2 holes?

TJ Zooker

Haha, mine pretty much fell off too. Little goo gone and it was all good

I'm replacing it with something else. Probably gonna put a "Type-S" badge on there

LawnPro

^^^^^Type S....lol

Carlos - you going with a Honda H badge? Ive wondered how it would look in place of the Acura A.....

Nooo, I'm too classy for all that euro spec in America nonsense . I got bored and ordered black chrome "A"s. After I change out the silver/chrome trim (front & back) peices with color matched ones, I'll replace the standard silver badges as well.

Vidol642

I guess is the same method to remove the side moulding something I'm planning to do soon

pdemers

Where did you order these black chrome "A"s? and Are their holes behind it? Or can I debadge like the others?

Stew4HD

I found that a good & sharp chisel as well as a rubber mallet to be quite effective at removing unwanted badgers!

HeartTLs

You'd need more than just a chisel and a hammer to take out a badger, they're wolves in sheeps clothing!

Stew4HD

I must have been mis-informed then.. Maybe it was a wombat I was thinking of?

ReggieD

I took mine to the dealer and asked my sales lady if they could do it and she sent it to the body shop.

farmdog

Fingers...it's just plastic.

Mr Marco

Must get rid of built up dirt.

I was looking for a good example of a debadge that did not get polished afterwards, I typed "bad debadge" into Google and this is what I got:



Gotta love Google's random pics!!!
