Emblem Nissan Juke - not just a branding element, but a crossover business card, which over time may lose its presentable appearance. Fading paint, scratches or the desire to install a tuning badge make owners think about dismantling it. However incorrect removal may damage the paintwork, plastic base or even the fastening system. In this article we will analyze three safe methods removing the emblem taking into account the features of the models Juke J10 (2010–2014) and J11 (2014–2019), and also give recommendations on preparation and subsequent installation.

It is important to consider that on different versions Juke (including Nismo And Hybrid) emblem mounting may vary. For example, on restyled models after 2017 they often use 3M double sided adhesive tapes, whereas on early releases there are plastic latches. We analyzed owner reports from forums drive2.ru And jukeclub.ruto collect up-to-date data and avoid common mistakes.

Preparation for dismantling: tools and materials

Before you begin removing the emblem, prepare your work area and the necessary tools. Working on a cold body (especially in winter) increases the risk of damage to the adhesive layer or plastic - the optimal air temperature for the procedure: +15…+25°C.

You will need:

  • 🔧 Plastic pick or paddle (metal tools are prohibited!).
  • 🧴 Construction or industrial hair dryer (with a power of at least 1500 W) to heat the glue.
  • 🧴 Sticker removal thread (thin, strong, such as dental floss Oral-B).
  • 🧴 Isopropyl alcohol (90%+) or White spirit to remove residual adhesive.
  • 🧴 Masking tape And soft fabric (microfiber) to protect paintwork.
  • 🔧 Flat blade screwdriver (only for models with latches!).

If you plan painting the emblem or installing a tuning badge (for example, from Nismo or RB Motoring), additionally prepare:

  • 🎨 Painting kit (primer, paint Nissan Silver Metallic (KH3) or Black (KH1), varnish).
  • 🧴 Double-sided tape 3M VHB (for re-installation).
  • 📏 Ruler or caliper for precise positioning of the new emblem.

Before starting work, take a photo of the location of the emblem from several angles - this will help to install it back without displacement.

Method 1: Removing the emblem using thread (for adhesive bases)

This method works for most Nissan Juke 2014–2019, where the emblem is attached to double-sided tape. Advantage of the method - minimal risk of damage to paintwork, but requires caution.

Step by step instructions:

  1. Cover the area around the logo masking tape, leaving a gap of 1–2 mm. This will protect the paint from accidental scratches.
  2. Warm up the emblem with a hairdryer for 2–3 minutes, keeping it at a distance of 10–15 cm. The temperature should be 50–60°C (do not overheat!).
  3. Pass the thread under the emblem from any angle. Use a saw-tooth motion to gradually cut away the adhesive layer.
  4. Remove any remaining glue from the body using isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.

If the emblem does not work, do not use excessive force - this may lead to chipping of the paint at the junction with the plastic bumper. In this case, proceed to the method with a hairdryer and a pick.

Method 2: Dismantling using a hair dryer and a pick (universal)

This method is suitable for all models Juke, including versions with plastic latches. Key Point — uniform heating of glue or plastic to reduce the risk of fasteners breaking.

Algorithm of actions:

  1. Heat the emblem with a hairdryer for 3–5 minutes, evenly moving the air stream around the perimeter. Temperature - 60–70°C.
  2. Pry the emblem with a plastic pick from any edge, gradually disconnecting it from the body. On models with latches, you will hear characteristic clicks.
  3. If the emblem does not come off, reheat the problem area and try again. Do not use metal tools!
  4. After removal, clean the body remove glue residue with a solvent, then wipe the surface with alcohol.

On Juke Nismo And Juke Hybrid The emblem can be attached in combination: glue + latches. In this case, first remove it as a sticker (method 1), then carefully pry off the plastic clips with a screwdriver.

Method 3: Removing the emblem with snaps (early models)

On Nissan Juke J10 (2010–2014) the emblem is often attached to plastic latches, which break when removed carelessly. This method requires patience and precision.

Instructions:

  1. Remove the radiator grille (if the emblem is located on it). To do this, snap off 4–6 plastic clips around the perimeter.
  2. Flat blade screwdriver Carefully pry the emblem off the back of the grille, pressing the latches.
  3. If the emblem does not work, warm it up with a hairdryer (temperature 40–50°C) - the plastic will become more elastic.
  4. After removal, check the integrity of the latches. Broken fasteners can be repaired using epoxy glue.
⚠️ Attention: On models with 360° camera (optional Around View Monitor) the emblem can be attached to the sensor. Do not apply force to the center of the emblem - this may damage the electronic module!
What to do if the latch is broken?

If the emblem lock is broken, it can be replaced with a similar one from the donor part (part number 79910-4M000 for Juke J10) or use double-sided tape 3M VHB 4950. Before installing a new emblem, clean the seat from old glue and degrease it with alcohol.

How to remove glue residue without damaging paintwork

After removing the emblem, an adhesive layer remains on the body that must be removed. Improper cleaning can lead to paint dullness or even peeling off (especially on dark colors Jukesuch as Nightshade (KAD) or Gun Metallic (KH2)).

Effective ways to remove glue:

  • 🧴 Isopropyl alcohol (90%+) - safe for paintwork, but requires re-application.
  • 🧴 Special cleaners (For example, 3M Adhesive Remover or Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover).
  • 🧴 White spirit - more aggressive, but copes with old glue. Apply for 10-15 seconds, then rinse with water.
  • 🧴 Razor blade (only for experienced ones!). Hold at a 30° angle to the surface to avoid scratching the paint.

After cleaning:

  1. Wipe the surface soft microfiber, soaked in water.
  2. Apply wax protective composition (For example, Collinite 845) to restore the hydrophobic properties of paintwork.
Cleaning method Exposure time Risk for paintwork Suitable for
Isopropyl alcohol 1–2 minutes Low All colors
3M Adhesive Remover 30–60 seconds Medium Matte and metallic
White spirit 10–15 seconds High Only for durable paintwork
Blade — Very tall Only for professionals

Installing a new emblem or tuning badge

If you removed the emblem to replace it with a tuning version (for example, Nismo, RB or GTR), follow these guidelines:

Preparation:

  • 📏 Check dimensions new emblem. Standard icon Juke has dimensions 80×30 mm.
  • 🧴 Degrease the seat alcohol and let it dry for 5-10 minutes.
  • 🔧 If you use glue, apply a thin layer of it to the emblem, not to the body.

Installation:

  1. Attach the emblem to the body no pressure, check its position.
  2. Secure with masking tape for 1-2 hours to secure.
  3. After 24 hours, remove the tape and check the secure fit.

For models with 360° camera use logos with slots for sensors (for example, from Juke Nismo RS). Otherwise the system Around View Monitor may not work correctly.

💡

When installing a tuning emblem, avoid cheap Chinese analogues - they often have inaccurate dimensions and quickly fall off. Optimal brands: OEM Nissan, RB Motoring, JDM Garage.
