If it's like my Corolla it should be held on by some double sided 3m tape. The emblem should also have 2 little prongs that keep it aligned right... I think I have a pic somewhere...it's from a DIY I did on another site...I would have just posted the link but for some reason this site doesn't like 9nthgencoroll a.com's site, so the link would of had a whole bunch of ***********'s lol
The rear center emblem was a little more tricky. You don't want to go down to far with your dental floss/fishing line. In the pic below you can see where I stopped. You don't want to try and go any farther than that because you will just run into one of the prongs on the back of the emblem that will stop you anyway. And you also take the chance of cutting into the paint on the side of the emblem if you go to far because the area around the emblem starts to come out farther than the emblem and if you go to far your dental floss/fishing line will cut into the paint.
After you have cut through the adhesive to the point in the above pic you will need to use both hands and slowly pull the top of the emblem away from the trunk. Use your fingernails at first and pry it away. You will see it start to separate from the adhesive below where you used the dental floss/fishing line. Don't rush it, let the adhesive slowly break away as you pull and you'll be done. In the pic below I was only using one hand because the other had to take the picture.
In the pic below you can see where the holes are that the prongs from the emblem sit in. I didn't have much residue from the adhesive from this emblem. But if you do just use some googone.
And in this pic you can see what my final product was...car was wet and dirty but you get the idea.
