As Gene said, there are two posts about 1" in from the left and right side, on dead center vertically. You have to "work around" these two posts to get to start lifting the emblem. You really only need it loose enough to get a finger in there and pull it off. Otherwise, the floss doesn't have to do ALL the work...I did the dental floss, hair dryer thing, the floss made it all around the badge, BUT, it felt like there were posts of some kind under the middle of the badge,
Is the the case? If so, are they secured with nuts on the back? I'd hate to pry off and snap the posts or worse...
Anyone have a Kia manual that might show how these are attached? Hood and trunk...??
