Note
The badge is not reusable due to the positioning problem. If the badge is removed for any reason, it must be replaced with a new one.

Remove

  1. Prepare the badge removal tool with approximately 60 centimeters of monofilament line.
  2. Position the badge removal tool so that the monofilament line cuts under the bottom of the T-badge.
  3. Move the badge removal tool in a sawing motion to separate the T-badge from the liftgate.
  4. Use IPA wipes to clean all adhesive residue and debris from the liftgate surface.

Install

  1. Attach the T-badge on the rear badge locator, and then install the rear badge locator to the liftgate applique, aligning the cut-out in the badge locator with the "S" on the applique.
  2. Peel off the adhesive backing film from the rear of the badge, and then firmly press the badge onto the trunk.
  3. Use a pressure roller to wet-out the badge.
