I grew up in the midwest and saw these things all over the place. Pretty much standard in Denver, Kansas City, Montana. At least back in the day. I live in Seattle now and it is unheard of here. If i purchased a brand new car with a dealer badge I would absolutely lose it. Not only are they trying to get free advertising, but the things are extremely ugly, tacky, and poorly designed. I would refuse the vehicle just like Jim. I always thought dealer badges were ridiculous.

Just use a short piece between your hand and slide it under the badge. It will slice through the glue and foam backer. Then use your scraper and some GooGone to clean it up. Work great, no heat, no burns! Another method that worked well for me was to use monofilament fishing line. Just use a short piece between your hand and slide it under the badge.

It works very similar to a pencil eraser, hence the name. The Smart Eraser available at http://www.denlorstools.com/ is great for removing badges and pinstripes.

So I just always tell them to remove them before I leave the lot.

With the 4th of July 5 day weekend coming up, I've been looking for something--ANYTHING--to do. This will fit the bill nicely. I've always hated the "Z71" logos on my 2000 Sierra, but I didn't think there was anything I could do about it. Thanks for the info. Awesome.

You can use it to knife though the glue. dental floss also works well. You can use it to knife though the glue.

Those dealer badges have always been a pet peeve of mine. When I bought my Mustang back in '95 (rest it's twisted metal soul) I made the dealer put in the contract that they would NOT add a dealer badge. They of course promptly ignored that and added it anyway, I refused delivery. After a fair bit of griping they not only removed it but (realizing I was serious about holding them to the contract and walking otherwise ) threw in a spare set of floor mats and a few free oil changes/car washes. Maybe not the best score in the world, but amusing. Nice little addition here. Those dealer badges have always been a pet peeve of mine.
