The best way is to take out the radio first and push them out with your finger. Or you can risk scratching them and use a butterknife or something.

Somtimes they come out when you hoover the dash- yes i hoover the dash as it helps clean the stubborn dust that settles. try it before you pull stuff out of your dash then try the other method, you never know

Rap a duster or rag around a broad but thin screwdriver and lever it off. Worked for me without a scratch.

Just a though. I levered off my badges on an older polo and scratched the paint work (Doh) but I didn't use a cloth. Nobody told me that a hair dryer or paint stripper (for god sake, from a distance!!) will melt the glue and the badges will pratically fall off.

Preparation is everything.
