our lasses and dsw88's rear badges notice on both of those i cant get the vinyl to go riight into the little corners, somebody better at wrapping probably could, on the fronts you dont have this problem as when you split the badge its very thin so goes around the edges nicely,

Does the rear badge of a 9N come off quite easily? I bit of heat maybe?

Im not 100% sure if its held on with adhesive??

Are you talking about a 9N pal? I went out with a hair-dryer and tried to get mine off... No joy! Im 100% sure its not held on with adhesive. If I forcefully was to pry it off Im sure I would bust the badge itself :?:

What dsw88 says is correct, its just held on with some pretty strong adhesive. Its also located in an indentation in the tailgate, so it can be a bit tricky.

Get it really warm and try using some dental floss/fishing line in a sawing motion behind the badge, it should come off with a bit of patience.
