• Q: How to Replace the Door Emblem on 2005 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: Tools needed before starting the Rendezvous door emblem and nameplate replacement include a Heat Gun (J 25070) alongside 3M(TM) Scotch Brite Molding Adhesive Remover Disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501). The project requires two essential tools: a Heat Gun (J 25070) alongside 3M(TM) Scotch Brite Molding Adhesive Remover Disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501). Start your process by wrapping tape across the door emblem to protect it and keep it in correct position. Use the Heat Gun (J 25070) at 152 mm (6.0 in) from the surface to create a circular motion and heat the emblem/nameplate for about 30 seconds. You should use a plastic, flat-bladed tool to carefully extract the emblem/nameplate followed by complete adhesive removal from both the door panel surface and back of the emblem/nameplate using the 3M(TM) Scotch Brite Molding Adhesive Remover Disk (3M(TM) P/N 07501). The door surface needs cleaning with VMP naptha from varnish makers and painters. The emblem/nameplate placement area requires tape as initial positioning starts at 19.5 mm (0.78 in) above the door's feature line and 68.7 mm (2.7 in) from its front edge. Apply the Heat Gun (J 25070) to the door surface until it reaches at least 21°C (70°F) but avoid touching the emblem/nameplate adhesive backing. Place the front side of the emblem/nameplate adhesive-free section against the door panel surface then remove all backing items. Using your hands roll the emblem/nameplate to achieve proper bonding before inspecting for correct adhesion and then remove the tape from the space surrounding the emblem.
