you need to pull the badge towards yourself sometimes the badge is friendly and comes off in one piece and leaves no glue on the panel

before you remove the corolla badge you may like to mark out the position of it so when you replace it with a different badge it will be in the factory position.

if you also want to remove the side mouldings you just pull them off.

how does it look without the side mouldings? A bit weird? I was contemplating ripping them off too but i thought there might be some holes left behind.

P.S.

When badging, dont do what i did. I did mine spur of the moment and almost ripped my fingernails off... Still, it looks good on a black car without the busy badges at the back... On the 1zz which i assume you have from your other posts you can also remove the "seca" stickers quite easily from the boot thingy,

i thought that at first, but then i used my nail and it came off the easiest of them all, maybe our cars are different, you have the face-lifted corolla right?

yep just going out to the car to doubble check but im sure that shao and I concluded that they were not gonna come off :(

I asked toyota to remove all of my badging bar the toyota 'round' logo on the boot. and that has now ben replaced by the Camry 'sportivo' badge (nice and black)

Although the one i did remove myself was just to leave the car outside in the sun for a bit and then carfeully pull it off without twisting it (one good thing about QLD weather :P )

The camry badging is slightly smaller than the stock chrome one,so you have to cut off the 2 pins and then line it up right and use a soft black pencil to draw the marks on where you want to stick it...then stick :)

well just stripped my car of all its badges, the "SECA" ones came off easy they are just made of soft plastic you can just rip them off.

hey guys,

i was sitting at home checking the site as i usually do n i read this particular topic bout debadging the "SECA" stickers on the boot lid thingo of my corolla..all i needed were my nails n a hot cloth it was that easy......time taken 5-10mins max...results much cleaner. I had toyota take of my ASCENT badge before it got deliverd, it looks much cleaner especially on the colour black ..i would recommend to anyone to peel'em off...looks but better..

anyways just wanted to add that....cheers :)

Sorry to resurrect an old thread......

I just debadged my car and there was a fair bit of glue left behind, is my **** ****** now, or whats the best way to get it off? :o

a terry towel and eucalyptus oil from ur local super market ...... i was a bit sceptical when the guy @ repco recommended this to me but he was 110% right ...... removed everything ..... the euco oil turns the glue into a sticky gunk and as u keep rubbing it with the euco soaked terry towel the glue just gradually rubs off .....

To get the glue from behind the side moulding all you need to do is use your thumb to roll the glue from one end to the other, works a treat. then if the car is a little old you might have tarnishing so give it a slight cut and polish to clear it up, you may not see the tarnish unless you get below the lines and get reflection on them.

I used sepetone grease and wax remover... she's clean as now! Only kept the update conquest badge.
