debadging

[GAINMOB]

whats needed to debadge the EXPEDITION/EB badge on the tailgate? blow dryer? will hair blow dryer work?

get some strong fishing line and use it to "saw" the badges off... it also helps to do it on a hot and sunny day and to use a hair dryer to heat the badges before you start to "saw" at it.... the gunk left behind can easily be removed with a "body eraser" which cheap ones attach to a drill... then just buff and wax it all.... well thats how I have done it with no damage and great success

thanks a lot...i'll start buying items tomorrow and get on it this weekend...suppose to rain all week here in VA

ok...so i got the fishing line...cheapest i could find...$1.97...used my wifes blowdryer...heated up the letters and got to sawing with the line...now i just need an alternate solution to buffing the area...dont have a buffer

use some rubbing alcohol to help get off any residue then just wax it by hand...

I thought you guys told me you couldn't debadge it without having holes...

liars.

*****, can you do it on the EB or not? just the tail gate

 

[walnuts4x4]

04+ you can... 03 and older you can't

Walnuts, are the emblems on the older models actually held on by screws or are they on with adhesive and just pins through alignment holes?

 

[walnuts4x4]

mine had screws and adhesive... not sure about other years but 97-02 do have the holes in the fender.. pretty certain there are screws in all of them just not 100% certain

And I can jump in on '07+ there ARE guide holes, but just adhesive, no screws. And I'm not exactly sure why Ford cannot make up their d*mn mind as I had an '05 that I de-badges and it had no holes. Good luck, they def look better w/o all the logos and crap all over them.

Yes it does, plus it'll leave and indent.
