I replaced the front and rear decals on my 2007 after about 6 years. Under covered storage the rear was exposed to morning sun and the front to hotter afternoon sun. The rear had started to peel. The front was peeling and cracking.

The rear decals came off pretty easy using a heat gun and plastic scraper. Heat along one edge, use the scraper to lift that edge, then very slowly lift it as I heated along the rest of the decal. Too much heat and it will easily tear. Too little and it will not release. Used 3M Adhesive Remover to remove remaining adhesive.

The front decals not so easy. Because of the cracking they would not come off in large pieces. Just very small pieces. I bought a 3M Eraser Wheel and used a strong corded electric drill to remove the decals. Lot of work but did a good job. And the eraser wheel took off most of the adhesive. And again I removed the rest with the adhesive remover.

After removing the decals, there was a ghost image left on the cap making it easy to position the new decals. The larger pieces can be a bit of a challenge to work with and get placed and flat. Use plenty of water and keep them wet until in place or they will stick and be hard to reposition. I use a squeegee first to get the excess water from under the decals. But found it easier to use a small wet towel and it did a better job of smoothing them.
