The only badge you can't remove with the method I am sure you are thinking of is the Toyota badge below the rear wiper, it is attached with little "studs" into the sheet metal, so if you remove it you are left with holes. One of the guys here removed it and put a TRD badge in its place though.

What is the "method" of which you speak? I recently had the rear hatch repainted on my highlander and the shop put the Highlander badge on crooked. I was wondering how to get it off.

tools:
dental floss or thin fishing line
adhesive remover (i used wd-40)
sore fingers
blow dryer (optional)

directions:
heat up adhesive w/ blow dryer, then use dental floss to "saw" off badge. pretty much breaking the bond between the badge and the adhesive. then rub the adhesive off w/ your finger tips (not nails as this will cause fine line scratches). use the adhesive remover to remove any left over residue. lastly wash and wax area where badge used to be. should only take a few minutes.

It will help if you wound the ends of your dental floss or thin fishing line onto short sticks (I used two ballpoint pens) and hold them as you "saw" through the adhesive.

I used up to 4 layers of floss and after a few strokes, I would wind it onto one of the ballpoint pens to expose fresh floss to cut through the adhesive.

Do you think it would be beneficial to wait until it gets warmer outside or does the hair dryer bit work sufficient enough?

I took mine off with 10 lb. fishing line, and no hair dryer, and it went real easy. It was fairly warm outside, though. I think it looks great without them.

I think I'm going to do it within the next couple of weeks. I've been studying Simias' ride and it looks very clean. Thanks guys.

Umm, scroll down this thread to the first reply (mine). I told you it is attached with studs into the sheetmetal so if you take it off you are left with holes.

All you need to do is perform a search on the topic and you'll see several pop up with explanations.

Use fishing line and run it through the back of the badge. Once the badge comes off, wash the area clean. Then use 3M adhesive remover(available at auto store) to remove the adhesive.

*washing the area eliminates the chances of getting fine line scratches from the built up dirt while removing the adhesive.
