The one on the tailgate? I've got a '97, and there are at least two holes behind it. They took it off to paint the tailgate, and didn't replace the glue, so I have to replace it when it fell off. Didn't like it without 'cause of the holes. Can't say what the '04 has, but I'd suspect holes, otherwise half of the Explorers out there would have crooked emblems. ;)

OLder ones had bolts, my '99 was on with adhesive tape; not sure about yours, but would bet its on with tape.

Good luck .......
 






they've gotta be held on with only adheasive. Other wise there would have to be 8 holes for each letter, since they are individual.
 






I would think just adhesive.

I de-badged my '05 EB and i just used dental floss. Its a bit of work but it came out fine. I had to do a little nail scrubbing to get big peices of adhesive out, then a bit of claying, cleaner wax, then done.
 






Get Goo-Gone and Fishing line, that'll do it. the emblem on the tailgate is the only one on there with pins...so go for it and post pics!
 






Its just adhesive. Mines all de-badged.
 






98 newer i believe are adhesive.
 






Lettering is just held by adhesive... emblem in the middle of the liftgate might have a couple of studs... I started pulling the emblem on my 03 Mounty and it looked like studs are behind it... will try over the weekend again although I have no clue what I'll do with the empty hole under the emblem... any ideas?
