Pony emblem 2015

Hey,

does anyone have pictures of the back side of the pony emblem for the grille? Or some info on how it's fastened to the grille?

There are several pins that hold it in (have to be broke to remove) . It is some what hollowed out on the inside as well.

It can't be removed with damaging it?

When ordering the emblem there's this thing called an emblem nut which seems like it's supposed to hold it fast...

I was told it needed some tape too - but that would be hard with the hollow backside...

The nuts can be removed from the pins and the emblem taken out without destroying it, generally you sacrifice the nut. A small dental pick and mini screwdriver make this easy work.

You could use 3M tape in the grille to tighten things up and keep future rattles at bay.

Here's the back of the stock emblem with the pin locations. I ended up snapping them off to remove it.

wish these weren't so expensive, cost more than the grille.

You and me both... The one I ordered had ONE pin... and 2 loose in the bag, making one missing... straight from a retailer. So that's wasted money, especially since I used a mail forwarder to get it over here... so they'll probably just blaming each other and the USPS over whose fault this is...

(It came in a plastic bag in a tiny envelope - soooo surprised they snapped!)

How can you get 3M tape to make it stick when there's almost no contact between points between the pony and the grille?

 

[higdominator]

You can build up 3M tape relatively reliably or I would suggest using a permanent filler such as 2 part epoxy to fill the void and make a level surface to apply the tape too.

JB weld may work, but for 3M attachment I prefer the epoxy that comes in the syringes, it leaves a less porous surface much like plastic. Just mix, squeeze in, and let it self level.

I did this on the back of some 1968 Tribar replica emblems after removing the pins.


This also makes you appreciate the classic emblems that are made of metal.

Here is the latest emblem that I have decided to use. It's going in place of the rear emblem on the black panel. It requires drilling and pinning.

Nice...

thanks for everyone that helped out with comments btw.

A bit frustrating ordering parts for a car you don't have yet and trying to figure out how it all works

Can the pony emblem be removed easily for painting?

I think the consensus is that it can be removed relatively easily, just not put back on.
