How would you remove the GTI letter from the back of the car? Ive been searching but haven't found anything. Anyone?

let the car sit out in the hot sun for a couple hours or use a hair dryer but be very careful...then once its really hot then u take some dental floss and slide it behind the emblem and just move it back and forth and hopefully it will come off without a problem

then use goo-gone to get rid of the residue.

NO googone...could hurt the paint, NO hair-dryer...pointless and time consuming running a cord out to your car...3M adhesive remover, costs like 3 bucks for a can that will hold u for YEARS...some fishing line...put a rag down on the lid near the hatch...under the letters....soak them thoroughly with the 3m stuff...slowly use a "sawing" back and forth motion w/ the fishing line on ONE letter at a time...after you have all the letters off, use some more of the adhesive remover to remove any remaining black stuff...i just used a micro-fiber towel, worked great...took me 5 minutes

I used a heat gun like we do on all the cars in the shop....came right off with no residue.

Get a Sawz-all and just cut that section of the hatch lid off.

Done and done!

(Haha, this is the part where the ideas just get worse and worse)
