Hello all-

I'll make a long story short. My Acura badge on my front bumper is upside down (a minor detail the body shop missed ). How difficult is it to remove the emblem and reglue it the right way? Any tips? TIA!

 

If THEY (the shop) made the mistake, then THEY should be held accountable to fix it. Not that hard to get off it you wanna do it yourself. Just use floss/fishing line, running it between the emblem and the car and just work the glue off. Then you should be able to CAREFULLY pry the emblem off.

 

I think other people recommend a hair dryer as well. Use the floss/fishing line and work it a little, then heat up the emblem some.. and try to move the line a litte more. Repeat as necessary. Don't force anything..

 

Tanabe -

Yeah, I know. But it's a PITA to haul the car back there. I'd just as soon spend the time myself. Thanks for the tips, tho! (you too, nerdish).

What kind of glue is necessary to re-glue the badge? Is modelling glue OK?

 

some guy at an acura dealership told me that it was bolted on. hahah stupid ***.

 

LOL - doesn't it give you a nice, safe feeling when someone working for a dealer/service shop knows less about the car than you do?
