Nameplate, Rear

To change the rear door emblem and nameplate start by collecting a Heat Gun Model J 25070. To prepare the emblem/nameplate for removal place the heat gun nearby the surface and move it around the plate in a circle for 30 seconds while staying 152mm (6 inches) away. Plastic tool layer to carefully detach the emblem/nameplate from its position. Remove all remaining adhesive from the body panel and emblem/nameplate surface using either 3M(R) P/N 07501 or an equivalent material. Clean the damaged panel with soap and water followed by drying it with a soft clean fabric. Combine 08984 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner with a clean cloth to remove residual glue. Then apply a 50/50 water and isopropyl alcohol mix with another clean cloth to clean the surface. Run the rear doors shut to set up a space for the emblem/nameplate. Place masking tape or magnets at the right spot. You should place the nameplate of the right rear door at 47.5 millimeters +/- 2 millimeters (D) from the vertical edge and 200.5 millimeters +/- 2 millimeters (A) from the horizontal edge. Trace a 200.5 mm +/- 2 mm (7.9 in +/- 0.1 in) line 200.5 mm from the lower edge and a 47.5 mm +/- 2 mm (1.9 in +/- 0.1 in) line next to it along the vertical face on the left rear door. During warm body work keep heating the body surface using the heat gun as needed and continuing the process when the temperature is less than 19°C (66°F). Choose double-coated acrylic foam tape like 3M(R) Super Automotive Attachment Tape and use 3M(R) 06380 white tape or equivalent when needed keeping the tape free from body contact during installation. Stick the emblem/nameplate to correct position first and then press it onto the masking tape or magnetic strip for 30 seconds to make it stay strongly. Take off the adhesive tape or magnetic strip from the back right door at last.

Before replacing the rear door emblem and nameplate obtain these essential tools: Heat Gun (J 25070). Heat Gun (J 25070). Heat the emblem/nameplate using the gun while keeping it 6 inches away and moving in a circular pattern during the 30-second heating phase. Use a flat-bladed plastic tool to carefully remove the emblem/nameplate from the panel before cleaning away all adhesive from both surfaces with 3M(R) P/N 07501 or anything equivalent. Use soap water to cleanse the panel before using a lint-free cloth to dry it. The panel requires cleaning with 3M(R) General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984 or an equivalent which should be followed by a clean lint-free cloth wiping with a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water solution. Apply masking tape or magnetic strip to the emblem/nameplate area only after securing the rear doors. The right rear door receives its emblem/nameplate marks at points 47.5 mm +/- 2 mm (1.9 in +/- 0.1 in) (D) beyond the vertical edge and 200.5 mm +/- 2 mm (7.9 in +/- 0.1 in) (A) distant from the horizontal edge. Measure and mark 200.5 mm +/- 2 mm (7.9 in +/- 0.1 in) (A) from the horizontal edge while the left rear door's vertical edge is at 47.5 mm +/- 2 mm (1.9 in +/- 0.1 in) (B) from the vertical edge. The body panel should receive heat gun treatment when body temperature reaches levels below 19°C (66°F). Before attachment use a double-coated acrylic foam tape like 3M(R) Super Automotive Attachment Tape and select either 3M(R) 06380 (white backing) or 3M(R) 06377 (black backing) or 3M(R) 06382 (gray backing) always handling the tape with care to prevent manual contact or contact with dirt. Press the emblem/nameplate against the masking tape or magnetic strip for thirty seconds in order to achieve correct adhesion. First remove the tape's backing then match the emblem with the tape and apply even pressure during the 30-second adhesive period. Remove the masking tape or magnetic strip from the right rear door as your last step.

Warm the door surface to a minimum of 21°C (70°F).

Mark the location using masking tape or a magnetic strip, ensuring the emblem/nameplate is positioned 35.0 mm +/- 2 mm (1.4 in +/- 0.1 in) from the vertical edge, 1125.0 mm +/- 2 mm (44.3 in +/- 0.1 in) from the horizontal edge, and 35.0 mm +/- 2 mm (1.4 in +/- 0.1 in) from the vertical edge.

Remove all adhesive from both the body panel and the back of the emblem/nameplate using 3M(R) P/N 07501 or an equivalent.

Warm the door surface again with the heat gun (J 25070) to a minimum of 21°C (70°F).

Secure the emblem with the retaining nuts, tightening them to 2 N.m (18 lb in).

Carefully peel the emblem/nameplate from the panel using a flat-bladed plastic tool.

Position the heat gun (J 25070) 152 mm (6.0 in) from the surface and heat the emblem/nameplate in a circular motion for about 30 seconds.

Apply tape around the door emblem for protection and alignment.

Take care not to touch the tape with your hands or allow it to contact dirt.

Apply a double-coated acrylic foam tape such as 3M(R) Super Automotive Attachment Tape.

Warm the body panel with the J 25070 while proceeding.
