I simply peeled mine off. I was able to get it started by picking at the edge using a piece of plastic like a credit card. Don't use anything metallic or you might scratch the paint. I then cleaned all the glue off with alcohol. Clean as a whistle.

WOW! I guess that I am lucky... I did not think that there were any stickers on the car and I went out and checked. Sure enough... none there from the dealer... just the license plate bracket (long since removed). I guess that the dealer gets good marks for that (or for not leaving them on my car!)

Heat it up and use some dental floss to peel it away.

I TOLD the dealer to take any stickers like that off before I picked up my Pro. I was pleased that they decided to comply with my request

Thumbs up Thanx guys (and gals

Thanx guys (and gals ) for all the info, I'm going to use a hairdryer first and peel it off afterwards, if there's still some glue Ill rub it off with some alochol. How long should I apply the heat?

Have the douche dealer who put it on take it off for you.

Just my $.02, but I will NEVER accept a car that has a dealer sticker or badge on it. License frame is easy enough to remove, though.

Back in the 70's, my dad bought a car - actually ORDERED it, and had it written on the contract that the dealer badge NOT be on the car. This was back in the day when it was a true badge that was drilled into the trunklid. Needless to say, the dealer had to put a NEW trunklid on the car, because they put the stupid badge on anyway.

Unless they are paying you to advertise for them - DON'T!

Good luck with the removal.

Just peel it off. Use the edge of a Cc to get ya started and what ever remains just get off with some soap and water or bug and tar remover. I would never use alcohol on the car.

Arrow

Well today was my first trip witht he car, 2 and half hours straight, first time on the highway with a manual too! it all went great, but now my car is all dirty , so I'm going to wash her either this afternoon or tomorow morning, I'm going to peel the sticker before the wash, that way all the glue will be 100% removed.

It's one of those stckers in wich all the letters and logos are individual stickers .
