can i remove the rear chrome vw badge without damaging the clips

[scottm72]

As in title i was wonderring if it is possible to remove the rear chrome VW badge on the tailgate handle without damaging the clips.
I have a mk6 rear camera badge and im not sure if the vw logo is just glued on or clipped on.
Whilst on the subject does anyone know of an online company that can supply carbon wrapped vw badges both for the front of the car and the rear.
Im assuming with VW being a huge brand there may be a site out there that advertises them, was going to go for proper carbon but as some peeps say it will prob just get pinched off the car.
Many thanks for any advice

Yep it can be done, gently. At the bottom of the badge there is a small hole at the base where you can put in a small pin or needle - I use a safety pin. Once you have lifted the badge up a little you can get something flat, like a trim removal tool or credit card (so not to scratch the badge) and work your way around the edge. Once the edge is lifted you can get underneath the v and w and pop it off. The mk6 badge clips around the edge of the mechanism - you can see on the below photo - mk6 badge on left, mk5 on the right
