Is the tailgate emblem just held on by adhesive?

 

Yes, I believe so.

 

And 3 prongs to keep it straight

 

I wanted to plasti dip my grille and badges. I got the front badge off but just taped around the tail badges

 

They all are on with the same stuff. Heat it real good with a hair dryer and you can pull it off. You might need a rag over something like a small screw driver to get a little leverage to just start it. When you use the heat to get it off it stays sticky and you can put it right back on. If you use fishing line to cut it it won't stick as good. Takes only a few minutes

 

Makes it a lot easier to work with
