I thought it was simple adhesive so I took fishing line and it was super hard so I just yanked it off 😂 left two small holes that I put some black touch up paint on. Looks super clean without anything badging in rear
Sorry to hear about the 2 holes. Yeah in my video shows that you can use fishing line for all the emblems except the H. That you have to take the deck apart to unscrew it, because it's attached to the trunk release button. But it does look good without the H if done right. I know someone that took it off and covered the two hole with 2 round small dots then took some vinyl and did the whole deck lid the same color as the car and you can't tell.
Thank you for this! I want to take mine off to paint it. However I may just order a replacement and do what you did. I just want mine to be gloss black.
Thanks for the video. Just curious is you need to go through all that just to change the emblem I got a new emblem from Hyundai today and they told me just use heat gun and slowly pull the emblem off. Can’t I just do that?
It screws into the actual trunk release button. You might brake the actual button if you just pull on it. In the video you will see me unscrew it from them.
I might have missed the comment on it in the video. How long about did it take to remove it all?. I have some damage on the plastic trim panel, the entire damn piece needs to come off and I need to paint it.
Maybe 10mins no more then 20mins. It's very easy. The only I will say just in case I didn't in the video. When you go to pull the whole piece off the trunk, be careful because the Trunk might go up and you don't want to scratch the paint or brake something. So take it off slow and easy
@@hardyboylifestyle thanks my dude. I might have to paint mine black after a mega mistake on a vinyl spray wrap. It ate the dang clear coat right off the back.
Did the emblem assembly come out cleanly? Wondering if when you pushed it through if there’s a chance to mess up the paint on the panel surrounding the emblem? Great informative video btw.
It went in nice and smooth. Only a child could mess it up, that's how easy it is. Just be careful taking the while light section off, because if you move to quick the Trunk will pop up and hit the panel you are taking off and that could scratch the paint. Thank you for the support 🤝
@@hardyboylifestyle2024 is looking real nice, however there’s aspects of the exterior I like better on the current DN8 models too tho. I guess it depends n what you’re looking for. Imo the current models look a bit more classy while the new one is looking more sporty. Btw changed my emblem out using this video. Everything was good until I had to pull the panel up, mine was a bit stuck & I had all the yellow pins pushed in too. Dunno what it was but it took some muscle to finally yank it off. Thankfully nothing got damaged! I’ll be watching the channel for future mods or that 2024 f you decide to get it! Take care.
I agree the interior looks better, it's the exterior I'm not sure about and need to see it in person. It's the same HP, but the styling is updated. Also my Gen exterior looks more sporty then the exterior of the 2024. So I need to see it in person
First off thanks for this video it really helped me when i got a little stuck. Secondly how hard was it to remove the chrome emblem from the trunk switch?
To be honest, it wasn't really hard at all. Alot of screws and nuts but that's it. I did it on my black 2020 sonata limited and my 2021 sonata N Line. Maybe 20mins tops
@@hardyboylifestyle well i just meant getting the chrome off the switch once everything else is off cause that adhesive seems kinda strong. Yea it wasnt too bad getting the main piece off. Was a little worried about dropping those nuts down into the trunk assembly and then i didnt think those two nuts on the far left and right were part of it til i watched this and you said there were 14 and i only had 12
@@mfr604ify If you are talking about the rear, once you take the 2 screws out that hold the H on. I used a small flat head screwdriver to take it off and I had brought another H that I dipped to put on once I got the old one off. The adhesive you can roll it off with your fingers.
@@hardyboylifestyle yea i was talking about the rear. Could you have reused the old one with new tape? I dont have a second H i just want to get the current one painted black
The trunk. Idk I went to Hyundai today bout a new emblem they said just use a heat gun and some fishing line or dentil flosss and the emblem will come off. But my issue is the plastic film in between the H logo that’s all peeeld off
I actually don't. From what I've been told part of our cruise control sensor is in the H. So I covered mine up, but sometimes my cruise control wouldn't engage. If you don't use your cruise control the best option right now is cover it up with some black vinyl to match the grille or use the vinyl tint for headlights and your cruise control will still work. Good luck
@@kevinkubiczki4987 I'm actually thinking about deleting the H altogether. If your car is silver, gold, white or black. I would do the badge black. I'd its red or blue, maybe bronze color.

Thank you for the video, really helped me out. This was too much work to replace a badge. DAMN you Hyundai.
It is more then it should be, but atleast now everyone knows before breaking the Trunk button thinking you can just pull it off.
@Hardyboy Lifestyle very true, thanks again.
@@CricketSP thank you for watching. More videos to come, so hopefully you have subscribed and hit the bell icon
Thank you for this! I want to take mine off to paint it. However I may just order a replacement and do what you did. I just want mine to be gloss black.
👍👍 You can use high gloss at the end to give it a shine, you just might have to do a few coats to get it where you want it to be. Hope it works out.
Thank you. You helped a Lot!😊
I appreciate it. I try to make videos to share my experiences with this platform and also show people some of these things you can do it yourself.
Damn...that really is a pain in the ass, but looks so cool!! I’d love to see how you did the sonata lettering
Its all done
@@hardyboylifestyle it looks awesome sir
No issues putting it back in and the truck pop operating ?
Thanks for the video.

Can’t I just do that?

@@hardyboylifestyle so the emblem you needed to use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew
@Stevens288 I believe so, a small Phillips head. Good luck. Feel free to ask any other questions....

@@hardyboylifestyle yea i was talking about the rear. Could you have reused the old one with new tape? I dont have a second H i just want to get the current one painted black
So I picked up a new badge today cause inside the emblems was peeling. I can’t just take the emblem off and out the new one on ?
Which emblem are you changing?
The trunk. Idk I went to Hyundai today bout a new emblem they said just use a heat gun and some fishing line or dentil flosss and the emblem will come off. But my issue is the plastic film in between the H logo that’s all peeeld off
If its the H, you can't just put it on. It screws in. Their should be 2 post in the back with screw holes
I can’t just remove the H with heat gun and some fishing line to pop it off?
It's screwed into the Trunk release. You can see it in the video
How to get to front emblem on 2020 sonata 1.6 T?
You will probably have to get that from the dealership. I don't know anyone that has a aftermarket one.. Good luck
Thats a pain in the ass. I just plasti dipped mine black
I ended up plasti dipping the letters
Have you attempted to change out the front grille logo?
No I haven't messed with that yet. I just got some vinyl and covered it. I keep hearing mixed reports saying that a sensor is built into it.
@@hardyboylifestyle The radar sensor is 100% build into it.
@@vezonf3nrak I wonder if that's why sometimes when I would try to use my cruise control it wouldn't engage, because I covered the H

@@kevinkubiczki4987 You also could do red or orange accents for the rear badge, mirrors and side skirts. 🤔🤷♂️
That’s a good ass idea. Got the red trim on the inside so 🤷🏻♂️
