Emblem, Front

Heat the loose emblem with the Heat Gun (J 25070) by moving it 152 mm (6 in) from the emblem surface while using circular heat movements until it becomes easily removable from the grille. First separate either the wreath or crest from the grille while avoiding contact with the painted surface. First remove all old emblem adhesive with a plastic flat-bladed tool and then clean the area using 3M(R) P/N 07501 or an equivalent adhesive remover. A ring-free towel should be used to wipe the emblem site after cleaning it with warm soapy water followed by dry-down. To apply the emblem use a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture on a clean lint-free cloth while avoiding contact with the adhesive tape or dirt. Line up pins (1 and 2) from the emblem backing with grille holes then apply firm pressure for 30 seconds to guarantee correct adhesive bonding.

Hand roll any loose ends and finally, remove the tape from the mounting surface.

The heat gun should be held approximately 152 mm (6 in) from the emblem surface.

Wash the area with warm soapy water and dry it with a lint-free cloth.

Use the Heat Gun (J 25070) in a circular motion for about 30 seconds, keeping it 152 mm (6 in) from the surface.

Remove the protective tape from the mounting surface.

Protect the mounting surface with tape and use tape for alignment marks during installation.

Apply equal pressure along the emblem/nameplate to ensure a uniform bond to the mounting surface.

Heat the mounting surface to approximately 27-41°C (80-105°F) and ensure the emblem/nameplate is at approximately 29-32°C (85-90°F).

Carefully remove it with a plastic, flat-bladed tool.

Around 29-32°C (85-90°F) without touching the adhesive backing.
