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 :wink:

Screwdriver + Rag Works for me.

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.
