Jay Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 hi was just woundering how do you take the rear badges off and if any damage would be left to the paint under or any holes, my zed is a roadster if that makes a diffrence Warm water and Dental Floss. Some people also use a hair dryer. It will leave two small holes ( i think ) and then obviously the residue of the glue. Are you wanting to replace them with a different badge or go for the smooth look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 dental floss dudnt work for me but seems popular with others. i just bought cheap fishing wire, poured water and done a sawing effect through badge. once the badge is off, youll be left with oads of the glue and 2 holes where badge was. easiest way is to pick the glue off or let it dry, and keep rubbing with ur finger, itll eventually lose stickyness and fall off (be aware u will get burny finger syndrome) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hair dryer worked for me nicely and an old credit card or similiar etc to help remove the badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewan221 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Might be speaking rubbish here , but seem to remember a recent post saying there is no holes when you remove roadster rear badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 No holes, I can confirm this. Be a man, just get your finger nails behind the damm thing and pull it off. Thats how I did it, none of this pussying around with floss, g-strings, hair dryers etc..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianphampton Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Took my "Fairlady Z" off with warm water and dental floss, definitely NO HOLES Cleaned the glue off with celulose thinners (nail polish remover) but it is serious stuff especially on car paint so just wipe it (Don't let it soak) Left my Burger in the middle so don't know if there's holes behind that one Took about 5 minutes, that's all, no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Easiest thing to do mate, get some fishing wire for few quid, and remove th badge to see if it has the holes. My car has holes and its coupe, cant confirm about roadster but seems mixed opinions. If u got holes, get some double sided sticky nd put back on. You can try dental floss, but these guys must be using horse dental floss as my human stuff just snapped under any tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
