Replacing the rear trunk chrome emblem on a 2013-2021 Toyota Avalon can be done easily and quickly with the right tools and a little bit of patience. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Start by cleaning the area around the emblem with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth. This will remove any dirt or debris that might interfere with the adhesion of the new emblem.

2. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the old emblem. This will soften the adhesive and make it easier to remove. Be careful not to overheat the emblem or the surrounding area, as this can damage the paint.

3. Once the old emblem is warm, use a plastic pry tool or trim removal tool to gently pry it off. Start at one corner and work your way around the emblem, taking care not to scratch the paint.

4. Once the old emblem is removed, clean the area again with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth.

5. Remove the adhesive backing from the new emblem and position it carefully over the mounting holes. Press down firmly to ensure good adhesion.

6. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the new emblem and activate the adhesive. Again, be careful not to overheat the emblem or the surrounding area.

7. Once the new emblem is securely in place, allow it to cool before touching it or washing the car.

The entire process should take no more than 30-60 minutes, depending on your skill level and the tools you have available. If you're comfortable working with cars and have some basic tools, this job should be relatively easy. However, if you're not comfortable with car repairs, it might be best to have a professional install the new emblem for you.
