There are alignment posts, clips and adhesive. It's not to hard to remove.

Line the area around it with masking tape to prevent damage to the paint
Heat the area to soften the adhesive
Pry up with a trim tool

Some have a backup camera on it. Is that where the camera is or is it on the latch? Mine was just built yesterday, I would love to have it ready when it gets here. I think yours looks extremely good.

Thsnks. The camera is on the latch not the emblem on the Gen2.

How do you go about masking the Ford script? Seems like that would be quite difficult

I didnt. All you have to do is spray it, let it dry completely then peel off the Ford script.

Apply chapstick to it, paint the whole thing let the rest dry and wipe off where you put chapstick. Done deal

I don't know how the emblem on the '17 is attached, but the '14 only had two posts with metal retainer clips, and you could remove it by getting a small screwdriver under and and pulling straight back.

My guess is the '17 has alignment posts and foam tape, as this was the case on the '16 Explorer. For that one, I used fishing line to "saw" through the tape, and since it had alignment posts, I had to saw with the line from all four directions.

pulled the panel from inside tailgate and popped it out that way.
much easier and those metal retainer clips are stronger than you think
