Default Slanted A8L symbol on tailgate

Anybody have an issue with their A8L symbol on the tailgate being slanted/crooked?

I sent pic of it to service advisor and he said it won't be covered under warranty, only if it's within first 6 months of new car purchase.

Shouldn't it be covered under the full factory warranty?

Default That's BS. Original warranty should cover any cosmetic defects. The CPO or

Audi Assured Warranty wouldn't. My dealer replaced a tiptronic button that had some paint peeling off.

So I meant to write trunk lid, though I wouldn't mind having a A8 wagon...

Default Yep

Add a hair dryer to get some heat to it. After getting the letters off, I ended up using my thumb to roll the glue off as if it was rubber cement, a really tough rubber cement. There are many posts around about how to debadge.
