[Raptor18]

Anyone else have bubbling fender badges? Ours did not start this until is got cold outside.
This is after I tried pressing out the bubbles.

Did you try using a little heat when you were working out the bubble. That usually will fix that.

I did not. I’ll give it a shot.

Just don’t “flame thrower” it or you could damage the paint. I would say a hair dryer with a surface temp warm enough to touch. Think hot pavement on a summer day.

I still can't believe Ford chose to put stickers on a $65k vehicle. Remember the good ol' days when thoughtful design and high quality production went into real emblems?

That’s exactly what I did (hair dryer that is). Worked really well. Still have a couple mini bubbles in it but way better. Thanks!

I love the bronco depot badges, but I do like the look of these too. Some things I like to keep original, not that keeping them makes a bit of difference to 95% of us, but for now it does stop the question of “is that a FE?” bs.

Right! Only thing separating these emblems from a “hello my name is:” sticker is paper vs vinyl.

New flash. All badges are stickers and have been for decades. You would lose your mind if you knew how much stuff Is adhered to a modern car.

Someone on the forum already tried to replace the FE badges through their dealership and they weren't able to be ordered. The stickers were marked "discontinued" in the system. Guess Ford wants to keep people from adding mods and stickers then reselling lower models as FE.

Shelby does this with there parts which is smart so there’s no fake clones but if one provided vin number you should be able to get the part

Even the badges are trying to remove themselves.
