2005 Buick Century Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace an emblem or nameplate on the quarter panel or rear compartment lid on 2005 Buick Century?

  A: Before putting on new quarter panel or rear compartment nameplates you need to mark installation areas and use tape to shield the surface. Apply heat from the Heat Gun (J 25070) about 152 mm (6 in) away from the emblem or nameplate as you move the tool in a circular manner for 30 seconds. A specialized plastic tool helps you remove the nameplate from its space. When removing adhesive materials from car panels use a 07501 3M(TM) Scotch Brite molding adhesive remover disk on body parts or wipe plastic panels with VMP naphtha or a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture on a lint-free cloth. Wipe the same solution over the preparation area until it is fully dry. Position tape on the surface when no marker exists to show the emblem or nameplate placement. Mount the SUPERCHARGED emblem where indicated and position the GS emblem 3.375 inches below the lid edge with its right edge 1.25 inches away. Follow the particular installation methods provided for the LS emblem/nameplate. Preheat the installation surface with the Heat Gun J25070 at 27 to 41 degrees Celsius (80 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit). Use the same tool to reach 29 to 32 degrees Celsius (85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit) on the emblem/nameplate before applying it. Stick the emblem/nameplate to its right position by removing the liner and pressing it firmly on marks after matching top, bottom, left, and right positions on the surface. Take off the protective tape from the mounting position at the end.
