use a hair dryer to heat up the glue and then some fishing wire to gently saw through the glue and then remove the excess glue if there is any with some white spirit

cheers

will the hairdryer do aut to the paint if left too long?

[mattbeef]

Naa it wont get that hot.

You will be safe with a hair dryer, a heat gun or anything hotter could harm the paint

Are they really just glued on ?

[Johnny50]

Yep, although the glue is very stong.

I've just removed mine recently.

Did mine recently too - just glued, bit of heat and they come off okay with a bit of prising!

I used very warm but not boiling kettle water and a plastic scraper to remove my octavia lettering, worked a treat

i found that using a old credit card works the best, dont have to heat the badge up, it gets the badge off fine and just leaves some of the adhesive glue which can be scraped off.

I just gained new Octavia lettering on the back of mine when when I had the tailgate resprayed :-(

[Johnny50]

Not a fan of the new lettering then ?

Can somone confirm that the Skoda badge on the back does not have pegs in it.

I saw a post on here that said the Octavia bagde is stuck on but the Skoda badge has pegs aswell which locate in the tailgate?

[Pimpmyskodia]

not sure about that either :S would be interesting to know as i want to debadge mine conpletly.

[Johnny50]

As far as i know, the round skoda badge has pegs on it.

So if you remove it, you'll need to fill/paint the holes.

Skoda badge has pegs on it. The octavia and vrs badge is just glued and will come off with hairdryer and credit card or similar. Hope it helps

[billy2981]

I agree

the skoda badge is not really worth takin off s it needs fillin.

I am not so keen on the tailgate bein totaly blanck. cheers for all the info fellas n ladyz
