My front bowtie gold has flaked on the very bottom from the car wash, what is involved in removing just the emblem out of the grill? What is underneath the gold?

Can this be covered under warranty?

I haven't done it yet, but apparently there are two posts on the back of it, some tape/glue, and two speed nuts that you'll have to undo (from behind the grille) before pulling it off. Taking off the gold bow tie should reveal the chrome bow tie outline at the grille, as well as two holes where the posts go through the grille.

This is all assuming that you have an '07+.

the gold is a foil behind the clear of the bow tie. Could come off with some work, but easier to paint the whole thing.
