The Subaru badge on the sedans is held on by adhesive, it does have 2 pieces that pass through the boot.

On the hatch models, I think it is only held in by adhesive.
Can ask Craig to nicely check the rear garnish I gave to him a few weeks ago.

how hard is it to debadge on these models...are they adhesive on or does the rear of the badge have a plug ?

i wouldnt mind doing this to my 08 model but afraid i scratch or wrinkle the paint.
What handsome Dan above said. Braid fishing line (~20lb) works perfect for the back badges to "slice" them off the adhesive, then rub any residue off. Its not difficult. If you are at the cruise I can show you and it will take you no more than 3 minutes to do it. I can even bring you some braid if you dont have any.

EDIT: if you are talking about the oval subaru badge, then thats a different story altogether.
