How to Replace Rear Audi Emblem / Audi Rings - DIY - Audi SQ5 B9 / SQ7 4M 

Most adhesives are petroleum based so if you just spray them with WD-40 and let them sit for a few minutes the petroleum in the WD-40 will neutralize the petroleum base of he adhesive and it will just start to liquify. And because WD-40 is such a mild form of petroleum it doesn't affect or harm the paint. I've been using it to remove bumper stickers, dealership ad decals, etc. for years. Works like a charm!

I came here to learn how to replace my Audi emblems to black ones. I left in awe of how awesome your Audi sounds.

This is awesome. I just watched to know how much effort it will take to change the rings on my Q5 but after watching I felt like I can skip lol 😅 . But you did an awesome job. Great 👍👏 Thank you for this video 🙂

I wish I had found your video two weeks ago when I first started to remove my chrome badges on my 2018 Q5 and replace them with gloss back. The one tip from your videos that was a game changer for me --- putting clear plastic tape over the emblem so you can see where the heck you are placing them on the vehicle, as taping off the exact area still led to me making mistakes. Yesterday I needed to put on the "." in 2.0T and the Quattro emblem underneath that after a couple of fails. The tape application method worked! Thank you for this video!

That Audi does sound awesome 😮 got myself a Q5 and will be replacing the badges so thank you for the video!

Great video thanks! Was wondering if you cleaned the area with soapy water or possibly alcohol to remove any adhesive remover film before installing?

I warm (not bake) the decal with a heat gun before the fishing line. It cuts like butter i usually only break once or not at all. The tape layout was perfect. I use wd-40 or light solvent (preferably both, WD first, light solvent to clean up) to clean up the backing adhesive jut i spray onto a cotton ball or Q tip and dab it where it needs to go. I came here because im doing the rear 4 rings on my 2021 Q3, and the stock emblem is radiused on the back, my aftermarket is not. (The q3 is more round than the 7) I can get it to stick, but the top or bottom will eventually pull away from the body Ive never tried this before, but im going to fasten the aftermarket emblem to a cylinder with some strong rubber bands and wrap a heating pad around it and leave it overnight. I only need a slight radius and i think i can get it this way. Has anyone tried this or Have a better way?

I'd use a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive on the old emblem and use some spray remover before starting the fishing line process. Also, use some rubbing alcohol before applying the new emblem.

I’ve replaced my sq7 rear decal a few times, it keeps falling off. My decals are flat but my trunk is slightly round. I’ve been told to heat the decal so it bends. Did you have any issue like that?

Great video! Did you replace the exhaust too, or that is how you bought it? I have 2021 SQ5 and I am thinking replacing the fake ones and changing the emblems to the black ones. Mine is black color, if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

I have a little s1 and had the s1 badge on the back changed to a black one but iv noticed the S and the 1 are way to wide could I remove the one and use the same one to stick into the right place?

Es un video d que muestra lo que no se debe hacer. 😂

I dont know if my eyes are playing with me looks higher on the right
