Attempting to install a new front VW emblem. I removed the grille, to find that the grey body inside, behind the chrome emblem, is glued? to the grille. Time to use my dremel? I don't really want to paint it... and now that I've done lots of searching it seems that theft is actually a significant problem regarding these. Has anybody ran into this?

from back in the '60s when the microbus had that big front emblem, I do occasionally hear of emblems being ripped.
You might be able to melt the glue/plastic with acetone, MEK, or toluene, but be very careful

I'm just going to purchase another clip on emblem.. I was under the impression there weren't different emblem types for mk4s.

It turns out I purchased an emblem that was 2 parts. I disassembled them and installed the plate. Looks good :D
