How to Replace or Repair an Emblem on 2001 Buick Century?

Question

Accepted Answer

To install a new emblem/nameplate on LS or Regal vehicles start with protecting the mount surface using tape then use the tape to measure installation alignment. Heat the emblem/nameplate using a J 25070 Heat Gun for thirty seconds applying circular strokes. A plastic flat-bladed tool should be used to lift or remove an emblem/nameplate from its panel surface while preventing paint damage. Use adhesive cleaner and a clean lint-free cloth to clean the clean the intact tape from both molding and panel surfaces. The replacement process should begin if damage occurs to the tape. Press the emblem/nameplate onto the adhesive foam backing before placing it in position. Among available options for adhesive removal, select either the 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk (3M(TM) P/N 07502) for body panels or a lint-free cloth with Varnish Makers and Painters (VMP) naphtha or a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to remove adhesive from plastic panels. The installation space must remain clear from all dust particles. Use either VMP naphtha together with a lint-free cloth or an alcohol-water mixture to clean the area before drying it completely. Applicate tape to mark the spot while heating the mounting area to maintain 27-41°C (80-105°F) and position the emblem/nameplate at 29-32°C (85-90°F). Position the emblem/nameplate according to marks on the mounting surface after removing its protective liner. Use equal pressure to achieve a uniform bond by pressing it firmly in place. Strip the protective tape off from the mounting surface.
