Note: Be careful not to damage the paint.

1. Heat the emblem/nameplate using a J 25070 . Hold the heat gun approximately 152 mm (6 inches) from the surface.
2. Apply the heat using a circular motion for about 30 seconds.
3. Peel the emblem/nameplate from the panel using a flat-bladed plastic tool.
4. Remove all adhesive from the body panel and the back of the emblem/nameplate using 3M® P/N 07501 or equivalent.



5. Wash the affected panel with soap and water.

Wipe the panel dry with a lint-free cloth.

6. Remove all traces of adhesive from the body panel and the back of the molding. Use 3M® General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner 08984 or an equivalent.
7. Wipe the panel with a clean lint-free cloth and a (50/50 mixture) by volume of isopropyl alcohol and water.

1. Use a length of masking tape or magnetic strip in order to mark the location.
2. Use the following dimensions in order to mark the proper position of the emblem/nameplate on the body side:

•	35.0 mm +/- 2 mm (1.4 in +/- 0.1 in) (D) from the vertical edge

•	1125.0 mm +/- 2 mm (44.3 in +/- 0.1 in) (A) from the horizontal edge

•	35.0 mm +/- 2 mm (1.4 in +/- 0.1 in) (B) from the vertical edge

3. If the body is below 19°C (66°F) due to shop temperature or outside temperature, warm the body panel using the J 25070 while proceeding with the next step.
4. If needed, apply a double-coated acrylic foam tape such as 3M® Super Automotive Attachment Tape or an equivalent to the emblem/nameplate:

•	3M® 06380 has a white backing

•	3M® 06377 has a black backing

•	3M® 06382 has a gray backing





Note: Care should be exercised not to touch the tape with your hands or allow the adhesive tape to come in contact with any dirt or foreign matter.

5. Peel the backing from the adhesive tape.
6. Align the emblem/nameplate with the previous length of masking tape or magnetic strip.
7. Firmly press the emblem/nameplate into place for 30 seconds in order to ensure proper adhesion of the emblem/nameplate.
