Hey All ... looking for some advice. I just received a Z logo hood emblem from the Z Store as a gift from my significant other. I inspected the Nissan OEM emblem earlier today and assume that it's held on by some type of adhesive on the backing. However, after a few gentle tugs, it's obvious it's not going to come off without some serious "encouragement" ... perhaps by applying some heat or using some type of plastic panel removal tool to lever it off. For those of you who have swapped out the emblem, what did you use to remove it? I recall someone posting about how they used dental floss to see-saw between the emblem and the hood, which sounds like it could work ... however, any other suggestions would be appreciated. As always, thanks for your input.
