    Did you get this corrected yet? It might be just a little leftover from the adhesive. Try taking a small amount of WD40 to it, this will not damage the paint in any way. I think it will come off, then follow it up with a little wax.

    iForce are coming off today :thumbsup:

    After reading about the potential water issue under the large badges, I removed them today. As was discussed in that thread, there was a large area for water to get trapped under.

    It was a compromise as my wife and one kid wanted all badges, I wanted no badges. Time to work on Plastidipping the side Tundra badges

    When I took some of my badges off, I used fishing line on a hot Florida day. Some of adhesive came of easy, the harder stuff I used WD-40.
    Afterwards, I used a clay bar and detail spray for the ghosting and it worked great, no shadows at all.

    My 2020 SR5 is only a few months old...MGM...I would like to take off the TSS stickers on the rear panels before ghosting sets in...any tips? Can I just lift a corner and peel them off or do they tear? What about residual adhesive removal? Thanks

    Stock.... as of now.
    I have had luck peeling them off using just a hairdryer to warm them slightly or do it outside on a warm day. Newer the sticker easier to remove has been my experience.. ususally less mess after removal.

    A new RAV4 for my wife and 8months later, my Tundra is officially debadged.

    There doesn't appear to be any ghosting or damaged. They came off with little effort as it has been +30 (+85-90) here the past few days. A little prying, some auto GooGone, a quick door spot wash and then polish and done.

    Even after that short amout of time, there was grime, dirt, black staining that was starting to build up under them. Glad to have them off for good.

    I couldn't be happier with the clean look. Next year, with a little luck and convincing, I start working on getting rid of the fake chrome grill and bulge.
