Rear emblem replacement

[4 ROUSH]

The blank panel can be found aftermarket sites as well. Price might be better than the dealer. Sounds odd that the emblem was not covered under warranty.$1000.............:faint:

Faint is right! Saleen 405 hooked me up above. 100 plus shipping for bare panel. So the logo must be worth 900. Nice markup ford. Wow

I still can't believe it "fell off".

+1 for blackout panel. cleans up the rear end nicely

If I could get my pics from my phone to post on the forum I'd show you. I wash my car a lot but the place I go is quality w no hard brushes. It looked like a defect to me

[MENTION=6849]Cloak[/MENTION]. Bad ass car and thanks for the pic. Our cars are the same color except my rims are silver. The panel looks clean. At least I know how it would look!!!

I like the look of the blank panel too, but would to find a 50 years Ecoboost faux gascap for less than what Ford wants for a new one

Maybe someone....tripped on a rock and just happened to have a scraper in their hand and accidently chiseled off the emblem and it bounced off the bumper and into their pocket at the carwash....

I bought my 50th used and the emblem fell off on the third day. I just closed the trunk and it fell off. I don't know what the previous owner might have done but I never touched it. I did run it through a car wash one time, but hell- you can't wash a car without stuff falling off? My dealer told me $1,000 for a replacement also- and at first they said it's not a warranty item. I took it up there and told them I didn't touch the thing- it just fell off. They said they would try to do it under warranty and they ordered the part. Before I leave it for repair I'm going to make sure it's a warranty repair- I'm not paying $1,000 for that. I'll have somebody find a way to bore out the holes and re-attach it somehow before I spend $1,000.

Conspiracy theorist here...

What if Ford intentionally designed the emblem to fall off? Seems pretty lucrative to me...nearly 2000 cars with faulty emblems, charging $1000 each to fix. That's $1.9M... hmmm.

I'm kidding, of course. But still...that is an absurd amount of money.

Just reattach with some 3m double stick molding tape. The original methods of attaching the emblem is simply plastic welds. The faux gas cap emblems are larger, and I would probably guess more prone to breaking off (or at least weakening) when you close the trunk.

Some emblem tape will permanently fix that right up.
