Take waxed dental floss and "work it" behind the emblem like you were sawing it off.....
 
All it is is adhesive tape. Comes right off with no damage.

there are also stuff you can buy for removing the left over glue if there is any.

Better check that removing the GM chicklet doesn't void the GM extended drive train warrantee.

Come on where did you get that brainstorm. Could it have something to do with your name Mr. BINGO man?
 
Yea, don't remove them as that is what holds the engine together

Thanks, I'll do it tomorrow. The leftover glue will likely come off easily enough with a little effort. If not, I'll use some of the Mrs' fingernail polish remover (and then hit the area with wax).

Egad Mathews, when did your sense of humor evaporate?
 
As to using nail polish remover, it is a very powerful solvent. I would try it first on an inconspicuous spot such as on the inside bottom edge of the door before trying it on the fender. There are a number of products sold specifically designed to remove gums and stickums without damaging painted surfaces which would be much better.

Let me know if the Chiclet is chewable and what flavor.

Absolutely don't use nail polish remover. It will remove the clear coat.
Try a little WD 40

The dealer can easily and quickly remove the chiclet. If the dealer ever sticks his dealer emblem on my car I have them take it off. The shop guy has a can of something and he easily takes the emblem off. Should be able to do same for chiclet.
GM spent 10's of millions of dollars designing the car and the placement of the GM emblems, why remove it?

You're correct.
 
I must have been starting my NYE celebration early when I wrote that.
 
WD-40 it is!
