I forgot what I used in the GM badges but I didn't use floss and it didn't dent. I think I used a slotted screw driver. This was the junk yard though. Which is where I'm getting the hhr badges from. But I'll try to find some floss.

Slotted worked. No waiting for eBay either. And cheaper ☺

I like fishing line best for safe removal.

I just use a few passes with the heat gun and the badges just peeled right off. The rest of the stickiness I used 3M adhesive remover. Rubs right off with no paint damage or scratches or dents.

The GM choiclets only go on one side, from the factory. I think it was in 2009 they discontinued them,.

All 3 or 4 of the hhr's at the local junk yard had GM badges on both sides.

I remember when people used to buy or "acquire" those little chiclets and put them on cars that didn't come with them.

Yep, there are those. I prefer shaving all badging on my rides.
