Emblem, Front

Starting with tape protection for the mounting surface you can move to create installation alignment marks for the Equinox liftgate emblem/nameplate replacement. Heat the emblem/nameplate under a heat gun in a circular pattern for 30 seconds from a distance of 152 mm (6 in) away from the surface. Disassemble the emblem/nameplate from the panel using a flat blade plastic tool. Categoria 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk 3M(TM) P/N 07501 serves to remove body panel adhesive but body panels require either Varnish Makers and Painters (VMP) naphtha or a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water when used on plastic panels. Wipe down both the installation area with the same cleaning solution before completely drying it out. Apply tape first to mark the installation spot when the surface does not have any markings. The EQUINOX emblem/nameplate needs to be positioned at 11 mm (0.043 in) from the left liftgate edge and 160 mm (6.30 in) from the liftgate center to bottom. Position the CHEVROLET emblem/nameplate 31 mm (1.22 in) from the right edge while keeping it 160 mm (6.30 in) from the center to the bottom. Heat the surface to between 27-41°C (80-105°F) before placing the emblem/nameplate at temperatures between 29-32°C (85-90°F) without touching the adhesive side. First remove the protective liner from the emblem/nameplate before placing it accurately on the marks using steady and equal pressure. Remove the protective tape which covers the mounting surface.

Before putting on the new Equinox liftgate emblem/nameplate you need to tape the installation surface and set up alignment markers. Hold a heat gun at about 152 mm (6 inches) from the part and move the heat over the emblem/nameplate for 30 seconds in circular patterns. Insert a plastic scraper under the emblem/nameplate to pry it off from the panel. Use the 3M(TM) Scotch Brite Molding Adhesive Remover Disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501) for body panels and a Varnish Makers and Painters (VMP) Naphtha solution or water/isopropyl alcohol mixture for plastic panels to remove all leftover adhesive. Use the identical cleaning solution to wipe the installation site before fully drying it. Use tape to mark the area when there is no specified placement for the emblem. Fix the EQUINOX emblem/nameplate at the top left edge which should measure 11 mm (0.043 inches) from the liftgate and bottom center line must be placed exactly 160 mm (6.30 inches) below it. Install the CHEVROLET emblem/nameplate 31 mm (1.22 in) from the right liftgate edge with its dimension (b) matching at 160 mm (6.30 in). Use heat to raise the application area temperature between 80-105°F (80-105°F), then prep the emblem/nameplate surface for installation at 85-90°F. Stay away from touching the adhesive coating and pull off the protective material to put the emblem/nameplate at the marked spots by pressing it hard against the surface. Press evenly on all parts of the badge to seal it to the surface before taking off the tape at the rear end.

Remove the protective tape from the mounting surface.

Use a heat gun in a circular motion for about 30 seconds, keeping it approximately 152 mm (6 in) from the surface.
