Ca11um43 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Does anybody know the best way to remove old adhesive pads from where the number plates go? Just bought a 2009 Audi A3, and I've assigned my private plate to the car. The rear was fine as it's a full size plate, so I just removed the old pads the best I could then stuck my new one over the top. However my new front plate is a shortened one, and there is 2 pads still visible on both sides 馃槩 I need to completely remove them somehow, without damaging the plastic grill. I did try some sticker remover which I had laying around, with a little scraper, but that did absolutely nothing.聽 聽 Also, what's the best tape/adhesive pads to use for my new number plates? I've used the ones which came with the plates, but they seem a bit thin and I'm not sure if I trust them. I may replace them with something better just in case.聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliffcoggin Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Most pads have an adhesive that is softened by heat, so try a hair dryer, but not a paint stripping heat gun which is too hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
