Courtesy Nissan Z Badge help!
Had my Courtesy Nissan Z Badges installed last week by a professional body shop. They did it free because I recently had some work done there.
Now, the back emblem is ALREADY peeling up a bit on one side! I'm afraid they didn't clean it well before adhering. Does anyone know of a good apoxy to spot stick that side? I want to avoid peeling the entire thing off.
Suggestions please...

contact courtesy.. they told me they will be warrantying the tape on the badges.. i dont think it was 3m mounting tape but only foam tape.. mine is having the same problem.
I think it will come off MUCH easier than the original badges...DONT use epoxy/glue.. you will regret that some day

Yeah...mine is still sticking but if I push on it..you can feel it go down a little like its getting a better hold if you push on it. If it comes off I hope they'll replace it for free or something.

Two choices, take off the emblems and use 3M automotive trim tape, or use 3M Emblem glue which is usually available at auto parts stores. Both work great, the emblem glue wont hurt your paint, but will be a pain to get off later; you'll have to use a solvent to remove it.

how do you remove the 350 Z emblem? what tools should i use? i just purchased my fairlady emblem also. And, is there a certain area of the rear trunk that it's supposed to be at? I don't want it to look out of place. I want it exactly like the japanese model.
That and a little WD-40 to get off the residue.

i have the same problem with that Z logo... i can push it down a bit and still feel contact. the back one's edge is peeling off... i figure when it rains really hard, the damn thing will fall off....
maybe i will try the 3m glue! Thanks!
the fishing line is a great idea... i plan to remove the "350z" as well!!
