2007 Ford Grille Badge, replacing--help please
My new insert has blue stuff over what I think is adhesive on the back.
Is the factory one stuck on with the clips and two sided foam tape? If so how do you get it apart? Thanks guys---Bob |
BERRY!!! TYLUS!!!.... where are you guys!! Gimme a bit to find them. They're probably outside under their Expys trying to find new ways of giving them the 6-Million-Dollar-Man treatment. You know... Better, Stronger,Faster!!.... :-X22

Hard to tell if it's just double sided tape or there are clips. Look at the back of the grille, crawl underneath the truck with a light. If you see two tabs at the back of the grille where the emblem is, there is your answer. |

http://superdutydiesel.com/wiki/show_image.php?id=462 8C3Z1542528A Looks like double sided tape with 3 small tabs for alignment. Heat gun and some work should get it off. |
I'll do that. I don't have a heat gun though.
I was thinking about adhesive remover or fishing line. Saw it off with line. I have the exact one in the picture. Hair dryer ?? And thanks for getting back. Most appreciated. Very much so. Bob |
Holy crap Batman, rivets? I thought it was clips or something easily removed.

I need a replacement badge cause I have severe cracking and bubbling on the plastic overcoat...but local "stealership" wanted $50 for one. |
Thanks. Every time I open the thread the pictures are different.
I'm going to try it Saturday. |

Just replaced mine. The original one did not have the adhesive tape. Pull the big upper shroud/cover and you can get your hand down in the area behind the emblem (barely). 2 8 mm nuts, remove them. I used a 1/4" ratchet and deep socket. You may need to pry the old emblem out - I used 2 putty knives but first put masking tape around the area to keep from messing the paint up. Install is the reverse.

Where did you buy?

I am seeing part number 8C3Z1542528A for about $15 online from Ford Parts Guy.
www.partsguyed.com But when I search the grille parts for the 08-07 is shows up as $34. Strange. |
