Does anyone know the proper way to remove the rear emblems of the xB. I think i remeber reading somewhere, it is with a hot air gun. Please respond if you know.

 

Also, many have used dental floss with success.

 

Just use a screw driver and a cloth. That how I did it. It was easy and left no markings on the back where they used to be.

 

Fishing line or blowdryer

 

just use a heat gun and they will pull right off

 

that is the only correct way........... the other ways do only if you can do it that way

 

I yanked mine off!

 

I poured hot soapy water on them and pulled them right off. Worked fine for mr no sticky mess either..

 

9 of out of 10 dentists agree that dental floss is healthy for removing your rear emblem.

 

i used fishing line

 

I heard this works:

 

Credit card got mine off in seconds.

 

Blow Dryer and 20lb test fishing line, dental floss likes to break.

 

Blow dry each emblem seperately. Blow dry until hot to touch, however don't blow dry on the same exact spot (aka move around the blow dryer side to side across the emblem(s)) because if you do, the paint can bubble up.
Next, take a screw driver with paper thin (yet strong) cloth and wrap cloth around wedge and wedge them off. double sided tape keeps the emblems on, so you will have to quickly after removal (per one) remove the rest of the tape before it gets hard again. just roll off with your fingers.

Once you've completed those, wash the back door off (whole car if dirty ) to get the rest of the crud off. don't worry if you still have a few spots, it will eventually come off. i would have touch up paint ready just incase you accidently screw up! Sit back and enjoy!

the way i did it was with a blow dryer and then i used fishing line! worked great for me!

 

Blow dryer or heat gun and fishing line or dental floss.

Using a screwdive is liable to chip or scratch paint or dent if you aren't very very careful.

Fishing line is the best because it is strong. Dental floss does break easily, but it's something you probably have in the bathroom.

 

2 things
are yall talking about the metal "xB"on the back and i so y
also detal floss is strong a heck i used to be into the hole punk scene"pegged pants skin tight and since yoou cant find those ne where i had to go buy a pair of leni straight legs frm the thrift and spend a hour sewing them never had dental floss break but had fishing line break

 

Yup. That is the way to do it. Fast and easy.



Now, I am looking for a TRD one to put there...Maybe.

 

Hey! Since I didn't take mine with a hot air gun (used floss techniquie...), do you think scion sells the "scion" emblems?

some jerk took my toyota emblem off the back of my xB. I wasn't that mad that they stole it, its just that they left a fat scratch... ARGHH!!
