Rear Badge Removal

Post by Carbon »

Hi everyone,

I know this has been asked many times before but any guides/videos I can find are for the 6R Polo. I cannot find anything on the 6C. My rear badge does not have a notch. Can someone give my help on how to remove this badge either with some instructions or pictures please. Are these badges still held on with clips or is it adhesive?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They are held with adhesive. Fine nylon monofilament line slid behind each letter will do the trick (a bit like using dental floss). You might even get away with using dental floss.

Then you'll need to remove the residual adhesive and possibly do some detailing on the paintwork to remove any 'shadows' left be the badges.

Had mine removed by a local detailing company a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I probably wasn't clear in my original post. I meant the VW boot handle badge.
