Tips on replacing S54 ///M-blem?

[sasha]

My emblem (as I'm sure many) has bubbled up. I found the part number (11617831266), it seems to have the adhesive inherent, so all good on the install side. But any tips on removal? I'm sure I could manage with some adhesive remover, plastic trim tool, and floss. But for such a focal point of the engine, a scuff or scratch would be tragic, seeking experience.

I just used a flat head to remove the emblem and the left over adhesive…inb4 crucified

Loop dental floss under the end. Zip...zip...zip.

Flat head or plastic interior panel removal tool. Doesn't matter if you slightly damage the plastic underneath (you shouldn't if you excerise decent caution) - the new adhesive will deform and match the surface.

Dental floss for the emblem on the trunk imo. The engine beauty cover emblem is recessed, so I don't think you'd have an easy time trying floss under there, plus I don't think the floss won't glide on the rougher plastic like it would on a painted surface.

Helps if your engine is somewhat hot - easier to peel off.

Screwdriver + microfiber cloth to protect the exposed plastic. The old one was brittle and came off easily in pieces, scraped off the old residue, clean, apply new emblem. Easy.

Thanks folks

Edit: as a word of feedback for those curious about doing this the first time, the tip to do when engine was hot was ace. Floss wouldn't work well because of the recess so got it started with a plastic trim tool then it just peeled up in one piece with little to no force cleanly.
