Removing Ford Badges Off A Fg Ute

[heeno]

Hey guys just wondering if the ford badges on the fg ute have placing pins? Also what's the best way to remove the one on the front grill?

[Tobey]

Yes they do.

The front one, either pry off or use fishing line...

[TALEB TYRES]

pour boiling/hot water over it first then fishing line, bit of dirt and grime remover after.

always does the trick for me.

The grill and rear trim Ford badges do have locking tabs. And makes it a bit tuff for fishing line. Better off using the tracer for those two badges, or a 1E guitar string is great.

I also have a heat gun which works really well. You can use a hair dryer but don't have it on too hot. Just warm them up your not trying to smoke them. If you go too hot it just makes them harder to get off.

For the body badges I use a little heat and fishing line or just a plain old credit card works best.

If your pedantic you can also use a bit of dish washing liquid when it comes time to pull or scrape them off. Just helps to not scratch or mark the paint work.

Sweet thanks for the help guys, I'll try it out this w/e. can't wait to get the black ones on!!

just to confirm you guys are saying on fg utes it -does- have a hole in the back when you take it off?

[heeno]

Yeah when you take off the back ford badge on the fg ute there are two holes

Probably mentioned somewhere else so sorry in advance, but I noticed tonight at my local dealer that the falcon badge has gone missing. They actually put the XR6 badge on the left hand side now.

[Dillz]

Doesn't matter, you shouldn't have badges on there anyway.

thinking about taking it (falcon badge) off also but putting a '365' badge in its place, lol. Dunno, might be a bit 'HSV' ish for my liking.
