You can heat it a little with an hair dryer then scratch it with your nail. Then to remove the glue, I used wax.

just use dental floss and use a "saw" like motion to separate the badge from the car. the vibe badges are britle aluminum, they break easy. becareful.

Theyre more like brittle PLASTIC... And sawing em off with dental floss doesn't werk cause the floss isn't strong enough and it snaps, Use fishing line.

The dental floss method worked alright for me. I just made sure to heat the badge with a hairdryer until I was able to wiggle it a bit. When the adhesive is soft, the floss will saw through it without snapping.

Dental Floss worked well for mee too, I then used just a touch of Goof Off to remove the glue...make sure you wash area well as to not leave any Goof Off residue...most of it will evaporate anyway.

A little brake clean works as well to remove the gummy stuff off

I used the plastic "Scraper" that came with a bottle of off brand goo gone. I put a rag under the badge, dripped a few drops of the juice behind the badge, and then lifted them off with the scraper thingie. No muss no fuss. what was left of the tape they used peeled right off, then I wiped off the goo with the gone.
