Getting a badge off a grill is hard, I tried on my Camry and could not get it out without taking whole grill off. Grill's in Toyotas usually click and lock in with a tab.

If they are stuck on you can use really thin plastic spatula (like yor Mom uses to clean the non-stick WOK) to prize them off without bending or breaking and then some marine based silicon glue as I did on a 280Z freshly painted. You could also search the Internet, there are advice pages on everything ever done here.

The badge survives hand washing but not sure about pressure hose?

Hey guys, new here, haha just a quick question (didn't think a new thread was needed)...

I'm thinking about de-badging the rear of my corolla hatch to paint. But how do i go about sticking them back on afterwards? Or how do i keep the original adhesive?

Regards,

Kenneth =P

You wont be able to keep the original adhesive. But if your patient you could always get some 3M exterior mounting tape as I think thats the same type Toyota uses, and put it on one side on while cutting it to shape of the badge.

Im not sure if Toyota sell only the template of the Toyota badge adhesive actually.

Sorry guys i've got one more question about the badges..

If i wish to paint them, do i have to sand all the chrome plating off -> prime -> then apply top colour coats?

Ive been trying to take the ascent badge of the rear aswell, im just worried itll damage the paint too. I tried using the hair drier method and nothing seem to happen. I also want to leave the corolla badge on top and just remove the ascent badge. If anyone can help itll be great. Its the 07 model badge not sure what they have used but bloody hell its not coming off :o .

Not sure if the Ascent badge is the same as the Conquest one, but with my one I just got some strong fishing wire and with a gentle sawing motion cut though the adhesive.

To get the left over adhesive off the paint work I used some Goo-remover, let it soak in, then used my old plastic Uni card to gently scrape it off the paintwork.

i took the ascent badge off my 06 sedan, used a flat screwdriver but put something soft under it so it doesnt scratch the paint, just take your time.. i left the corolla badge on too

Hey, i used some fishing line (strong line) and got it between the body and the stocker and just in a sawing movement slowly dislodged the accent badge. Make sure you got some hot water, bug &tar remover so that u get a cloth and wipe it clean you might need to scrath it off with your thumb and nail, dont worry it wont damage the pain i done mine 2day and its fine :)

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay
