Going to remove trunk emblem. Need some solvent to remove 3M permanent adhesive that won't effect paint. Contacted 3M no reply.

 

I think most people just use 'Goof-off', I think you can get at Wal-Mart or somewhere like that.

 

be carful with goof-off near any interior plastic. it melts it pretty badly. worked at a car wash for 2 1/2 years, and we ended up going to simple green for stains and stuff, because goof off was just eating interior plastic away

 

How about the regular car paint on the trunk, will it effect that? remember this is permanet adhesive and what ever is left will probably a 1/16 of an inch left on the trunk after emblem is removed.. thanks

NO nee to use Goo gone or any adhesive remover just use a blown dryer to heat up the emblem then use a floss(sp?) to remove the emblem or if you're real careful you can use flat head screwdriver wrap in cotton shirt.the technique is to heat up the emblem.

 

I just used fishline and my finger nail?

 

dental floss and a your finger is all you need.

 

Thanks that's great info, I 'll try that. I will order the new Z emblems.

 

I misunderstood, you weren't clear enough, I thought you had already taken the emblem off and was looking to get the adhesive off. Yes, like stated, heat it up with a blow dryer and use dental floss to remove it.

 

I used fishing line and a blow dryer to remove the emblem, then used this stuff called goo gone to remove the adhesive. it is a citrus based remover, and didn't hurt the paint. Then I used rubbing alcohol to completely clean the surface before I attached the new emblem. Worked out great. If you order the Z emblems from courtesy, ask them to send you the 3m adhesive backings, they are a lot better

 

Thanks for the tip on the 3m backing, I'll be sure to ask for that.

Real easy to remove. No agents at all.

 

aren't there any holes left behind when you remove the nissan emblem?

 

They are glued on. No holes . Estes

 

I thought the Coupe had holes on the rear hamburger emblem? I remember a thread where someone stated that only the roadster doesn't have the holes.

 

I'll let you know when I get it off.

 

there must be holes... if there wasn't i know i'd see a lot more pics of Z's w/ no nissan emblem on the hatch
