I read through the DIY's where all of you guys stick credit cards, or screwdrivers wrapped in microfiber around the BMW hood roundel to pry it off by how the @#%@# did y'all fit it in there? I feel like an idiot asking this but I can't even get floss in between.. this shit is stuck on there for good.

Any tips???

Thanks


EDIT:

Okay! Got it, I used a metal "L" shaped thing as leverage, stuck some 3M double-sided tape on the "L" shaped tool and the original emblem and pulled just enough to sneak a credit card under.. rest was a piece of cake.. JBSPEED CF roundels FTW

Thanks for the suggestions.. god bless 3M double-sided tape

mine was like this too! i had a microfiber towel wrapped on a toy plastic flathead screwdriver and it worked perfect for me. GL

plastic tool used to take out dash units, interior trim did it for me

i used one of those plastic bands they use for shipping large boxes..usually wrapped around tv boxes etc...cut it short enough..then used a credit card to get under the emblem and stick the plastic band through to the other side and lined up the edges..then you gotta slide the band so its on an angle so that it is making contact with both pegs on the back of the emblem (the top part of the band should be right near the "B" in BMW, and the bottom near the lower right blue part). then firmly but carefully pull straight up on both ends of the band and there you go!

Use a heatgun/hair dryer to heat up the roundel a little bit so the glue becomes "tacky" which will make it a little easier to remove.

Yeah, unfortunately, I wasn't even able to get the credit card under to slip the band in.. but yeah, I used 3M double-sided tape to create some space (see above)

Thanks though!

Yup, aware of this but the front hood emblem doesn't have glue behind it (only the rear does).. ironically, the rear one with the glue was much easier to remove

Thanks
