this is just a quick walkthrough for you guys who want to remove your mazda emblems. i chose the biggest one on the back to take off thinking it would be the hardest. anyways here we go.

back driver side emblem removal

your going to need a blow dryer some sort of string. ( i do recomend fishing line. i used somthing else because i couldnt find any fishing line) and most important adhesive remover so you dont scratch your paint. plus a rag.

this is the adhesive remover i used i got it at pharmaprix. for 6.00. it was worth the buy.

heat up the emblem using the blow dryer just enough so your emblem can move, this gives you the idea that the glue behind it has softend up.

slide the string ( or fishing line. once again i recomend it. ) accross the back of the emblem. some what slightly pulling the emblem towards you.

after the emblem comes off it will look like this.

use your thumb to push off the rest of the glue. also keep the blow dryer running this way its warm and soft and slides right off ( you have to do this otherwise you will scratch the paint. )

grab the adhesive remover and the rag, im sure you know what to do, but just incase, put some of that adhesive remover on the rag,

start rubbing the excess glue off. i still kept the dryer on the glue as i rubbed it off just seems easier. ( but i did it when it was kinda cold so eh )....

You can use dental floss as well instead of that coarse string. Varsol or WD-40 is a safer alternative to that expensive adhesive remover which might contain toluene which might soften the OEM acrylic paint.
