  Q: How to replace the quarter panel emblem and nameplate on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Start the quarter panel replacement by adding alignment tape first. Use this tape both to install the parts and to shield the mount area from damage during emblem removal. Heat the emblem/nameplate on the Monte Carlo quarter panel with J 25070 for about 30 seconds using circular motions. Use a plastic flat blade to safely take the emblem/nameplate off the panel surface. Use a 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk according to 3M(TM)'s P/N 07502 or find an equivalent tool, and employ a clean lint-free cloth with VMP naptha solution for plastic panels. Clean the area where the emblem/nameplate will go by removing all dust and dirt before starting your installation work. Place masking tape at the specific positions where you will mount the nameplates and emblems on the right and left side of the Monte Carlo quarter panel. Bring the mounting surface temperature to 27-41°C (80-105°F) through J 25070 heat application and maintain the emblem/nameplate at 29-32°C (85-90°F). Carefully peel off the liner on the back of the emblem/nameplate and avoid handling its adhesive area. Place the emblem at the marked spots and push down with balanced force until it sticks to the surface. Take off the protective tape from where you will mount the emblem.
