Where your boot or tailgate badge is the type that moves to expose the lock, the fishing line and the card need to be inserted between the badge and the surface of the sliding lock cover.

Once the card is in position, use firm force to lever the badge away from the bonnet or boot. Continue this at different positions around the badge but always as close to the two prongs as possible. The badge will gradually lift with each application of the card until it is far enough away from the surface for you to grip hold of with your finger tips and pull off.

If your badge does have adhesive, it is advisable to break the adhesion before trying to remove the badge. The easiest way to do this is by using some strong nylon fishing line. Taking a length of line, wrap the ends around each of your hands so as to get a good grip. Ensure that you leave about 15 cm (6inches) in between which you can pull tight. With the line pulled tight and moving it from side to side, try to get the line to slide down between the badge and the surface of the boot or the bonnet. You may have to locate the place where the badge is not such a close fit to do this.
