Changing emblems

[GU3S GT]

Im changing emblems, and am wondering what you guys use to clean off the old glue without damaging the paint, also i dont want to use a razor blade..

Thanks

ive heard of guys removing them by heating it with a blow dryer or something and then using a fishing line pulled tight to sorta of cut it away

All our emblems are glued on, no bolts, just pin holes...the fender emblems have 1 hole behind them, and the ford emblem on the back has 2 holes.

Use a hair dryer and a plastic blade and they will come right off...the excess should be easy to remove.

How big is the hole left? Big enough that it could cause rust problems? Could I get plugs small enough to fill them in?

the holes are about the size of a dime
i just changed my emblems last week

ohh so you cannot remove the emblems and leave nothing there since theres gonna be a hole

heat gun and plastic razor blades...

thats what body shops use to remove stick-on pin stripes, badges, and vynal stickers...

the proper tool would be a heat gun. But to save money, a hairdryer does the trick, just not as fast as a heat gun.
