Taking the SRI badges off under the indicators yesterday, I'm just struggling with the glue. One side took a bit of persuading but the other side isn't budging at all. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Matt,
I've tried lubricating it with a multi purpose cleaner and using a bank card to try and lift it off, and also a hairdryer but no joy.
I did try WD40 yesterday but no joy, by desolvent so you mean turps? I just don't fancy using anything too abrasive on the paint. Will give white vinegar a go!Comment

Maybe it was reglued using normal glue. You can buy stuff to remove.Originally posted by SwirlesY View Post
If it's something else you may need to go slowly with polish or compound,, and maybe a machine polisher.Usual Elite specification;Dancing lights, up/down windows, sliding seats, on board atlas, slippery seats, musical bumpers, storm detectors, tubeless radio, female knight rider communication system, all seeing windscreen, cherry air freshener, auto moaning passengers, learner driver, shiny door pins, rear boom box, Heko smoked window hats, rear window sunglasses, 10 million candle flame reversing lights, matching number plate lights, shiny pedals, front and rear all seeing eyes, fully integrated interrogation system, empty bank account .

yep...……...looks like someone has used hard glue to re stick them.
I would say lots of low heat, but even that may not work.Comment
