Use a piece of fishing line (monofilament) and use it to sort of saw thru the foam tape holding the emblem on. Using a hair dryer to warm the emblem also helps. Use Goo Gone or Disolvit to remove the remaining gunk.

Happy New Year and welcome to the forum.

Everyday. I did remove the little, square GM emblem on the side. Not sure about letters yet.

Thanks for the good info...I used 20lb. mono and a heat gun and in about 20 minutes I have a clean Tahoe!! I used WD-40 for the gunk clean up.

Now ...does anybody know about the rear boe tie.....is it just tape or does it have thru bolts holding it on??
