Emblem Removal?
Are the GL and Bluetec emblems on the rear removable without damaging the paint?

Heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the emblem then dental floss--works well--no marks--any residual glue removes with Go Gone or Goof Off

Hair dryer is your best choice, leave it in the sun for 20 mins and you wont have to use that either, just floss.

My dealer took off the 4matic and GL550 emblems. Only the star emblem is on the back. Looks great, no trace. I asked for it when I ordered the car and there was no charge.
