How do you remove the rear Hamburger NISSAN Emblem?
 

Hey,

I need help on how to remove the rear hamburger nissan emblem. I have a new bumper and I would like to transfer that over to the new bumper. How would you go about removing it and placing it back onto the new bumper?

Use the search feature, in the DIY section.

I have been using google and the search bar but nothing has showed up. All I see is removing the 370z emblem but nothing on how to remove the nissan hamburger emblem in the middle.

If it were me, I would use a pice of dental floss to remove it, and to reapply it I would use 3M VHB tape.

I used a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive and slowly and carefully pry the burger from the bumper

heat gun with a thermometer and fishing wire does a good job

I used fishing line after I let the car sit in the sun all afternoon. Some goo gone took care of the leftover adhesive.

A heat gun and one of those hard plastic interior panel pry tools. Put something soft (eg, leather) at fulcrum point between paint and pry tool. Take your time. I haven't done it, but I watched the body shop when they changed my rear bumper cover.

:iagree: That's how I removed mine.

A plastic flexable bondo spreader works the best.
I do this at work all the time.

Where would you buy 3M VHM Tape? If I may ask

Any 3m double sided tape will work good you should be able to pick it up at a auto parts store or hardware store.

Thanks for the quick reply I appreciate everyone's suggestions!:tiphat:

Autozone sells 3M super strength double sided tape. Stuff is crazy strong. Great for this sort of thing.

Not sure if you've done this yet but this one works as well.

Let your car sit under the sun for 20 - 30 minutes. Spray slightly soapy water on the hamburger and completely cover with plastic garbage bag. The bags will cling to it. Ensure full coverage. Let it sit for 20 - 30 minutes. These will loosen the adhesive. With a fishing line (or with a dental floss if the adhesive tape has softened enough) run it and slice through the adhesive tape until you are completely through. Hope this helps.

So, here's what I had to do: I used fishing line and goo-gone fished behind the emblem. I sawed it back and forth slowly working across the emblem.

Things to look out for (learn from my mistakes):
1. If you don't pull the fishing line away from the car, you'll wind up scoring the plastic on the rim of the indention.
2. The four knobs under the emblem are for the alignment, and they make running the fishing line completely across, so I separated the top and bottom, then used a flat tip screwdriver with a small piece of rubber to prevent marring the paint and pried it the rest of the way off.
3. Even using paper towels to clean the spray of the goo-gone (I made the mistake of buying the spraybottle) will scratch the paint. I eventually came to the conclusion that soap and water and a microfiber cloth are the best way to clean overspray.
4. Most people recommend using dental floss for badge removal, which was fine for removing the "370z", but the edges of the hamburger are sharp, and it's difficult to get it behind the badge, so in my experience, it was too thin and continuously broke.

Go forth and good luck.

This is why you use a Bondo spreader.:tiphat:

I realize this thread is old, but figured I would share my method of removing the emblem. The front emblem was fairly easy to get off with heat and dental floss, but the rear emblem gave me some troubles. So here's what I did.

Step 1:
Drill a hole at each end of the emblem. I was careful not to drill into the bumber, only through the surface of the emblem. The holes are needed to help pull the emblem off of the car. I actually only needed one hole.

Step 2:
Heat up the emblem with a hair dryer.

Step 3:
Use a metal rod to pull, not pry, the emblem away from the car. I just hooked it into one of the holes and pulled away from the car. It came off really easy.

Step 4:
Use a grinding tool to remove the two nipples that held the OEM badge. I covered the surrounding area with painters tape protect it.
