I have my Scala with all that S K O D A and SCALA lettering which I want to remove for a cleaner, more inconspicuous look.

 

I know that heating the area, breaking the glue with dental floss or fishing wire works, then rubbing the glue with some tar remover/glue remover will do. Mostly. I don't know that after 1 year the paint will show marks under the letters.

 

But what I need to know if someone has done this or repaired/saw the hatch door, does the letters have only glue, or is the metal drilled and the letters have pins that go through it like in other cars?

I don't want to go with all this process just to take them off and see that I'm left with holes from the letters in the door.

 

Letters are just taped on so no worries. I have done that on my previous car (Peugeot) after 10 years and there were no marks behind the letters. I used a hairdryer instead heatgun as I didnt want the surface to get too warm and make some damage on the paint. However I like the huge S K O D A on the tail, I would rather swap to black ones instead removing them. Mine is a moon white metallic.
