I found that using a flexible plastic spatula worked superbly. . . . . prying under the old badge, to loosen the adhesive underneath, without damaging the paint on my car! Thanks for getting me started on this important upgrade process!

Thanks! Worked great on my 2001 9-3SE. First attempted others' suggestions of dental floss but fit was too tight to slip under badge. So followed your instructions using feeler-gauges and did it in 5 mins.

This video to replace hood emblem is excellent. I followed the instructions here and it came out perfect!

Worked perfectly on my 10 year old SAAB! Great tip re plastic and feeler gauge. Thank you very much

Thanks @saabCrazy, good demo. It's not clear whether or not you peeled off the cover to the adhesive sticker before installing or did you just rely on the pins to secure?

Using a piece of thread or floss as a saw to cut the adhesive is pretty effective as well - for those held by adhesive.

Thanks for the demonstration bud, that’s my next chore. 👍

The day the SAAB hood emblem lost the SCANIA and rings was the day the emblem looked a bit weird. I should change mine back to the old ones.

Apply some clear coat and those cheap emblems will last longer. This way you can also stop or at least slow down deteriorating of the original unit if it looks otherwise decent.

Great technique!

Most people broke these pins when trying to pull it out.

Some good quality badges available on Amazon in U.K.
Changed my bonnet and boot last week on Saab 9.3 convertible last weekend - masked all round and used very flexible kitchen knife to get under and remove old badges - screwdriver I found is too rigid

I need to change my rear emblem for my SAAB 9-7x! Does it work the same?

Used contact cement (yes, I said contact cement) to install emblems on the center caps of after market rims on my 2k 9-5 Aero...did this about 10 years ago and they have not budged at all. I imagine there are no real high forces applied to them in that location that could fling them off.
