Taking Emblem off front HELP! - Toyota Yaris Forums

BatMobile · 07-19-2009, 02:36 PM

So i've read some DIYs on how to take off the front emblem. I can not find the tabs people are talking about. I have an 08 hatch. what am i missing?

Grab and pull!

Or, remove the bumper to access the tabs. Very easy.

i'm not going to break it or damage it by just pulling?

Open the hood. At the top of the plastic bumper there are round snaps with a smaller round pins in the middle. Push the smaller round pins in. When the pins are pushed in the whole snap can be pulled out. Remove the snaps and the bumper can be pulled two or three inches away from the frame. With a screw driver, push the tabs on the back of the emblem to pop it out.

Toyota has made it waaay too easy to remove the front emblem... we should keep this on the DL so others don't get sinister ideas.
