Default 2008 Bowtie tailgate emblem

Does anyone know if this emblem is just stuck on or are the bolts behind it?
Thanks.

i have removed all my side moldings and badges using fishing line first. once i got it started, i think i used a hair dryer to make it easier to pull off. then i used gasoline (or WD40) to get the old adhesive off.

Mine came off with ease, just had a slight amount of adhesive left that I hit with 3M adhesive remover. I did in the Texas heat though so that helped I'm sure.

my neighbor (works for 3M) who used to live next to me, told me about their adhesive removal disc. i never tried it, but i guess it works good. too bad he moved away. he used to let me come over to his garage and take free 3M car detailing stuff all the time. he had so much wax, etc... in his 2 car garage, that he had to park both cars outside. i didn't realize how expensive 3M products are until he moved away.
