    To remove your old logo , just pull on it ( mine came off that way)
    If it does not, then heated it with a blow dryer to soften the glue. It will then come off. Do not use any knife, a mistake is so easily made .

    The other tried-and-true method for removing stuck-on trim is with dental floss.

    Use it like a saw by pulling back and forth under emblem to rip adhesive strip.

    Avoid contact with paint of course: merely look closely and pay attention.

    1. Using a plastic wedge, lever out the mirror trim panel on the inside of the door and pull upwards to remove the panel (triangle)
    ( you can also put some electric tape over a screwdriver blade tip to protect the plastic panel to loosen it )

    2. Unplug the electrical wires

    3. Remove the screws holding the mirror

    Hope this helped you.

    To remove the badges if they're the "stick on" type with no post, simple take a long peice of dental floss, double it over length wise, then floss between the badge and car.

    It'll come off no prob.
