Chevrolet Cruze Repair Manual: Front Fender Emblem/Nameplate Replacement (1.8L 2H0 or 2.0L Diesel)

Front Fender Emblem Assembly

Caution: Refer to Exterior Trim Emblem Removal Caution in the Preface section.

Procedure

1. The part and surface should be 21°C (70°F) prior to installation. The vehicle should remain 21°C (70°F) for one hour after assembly to allow adhesive to develop sufficient bond strength.
2. Use a Heat Gun or equivalent to remove the old emblem. Clean all adhesive from the front fender and wipe the surface dry with a clean lint-free towel prior to installing the new emblem.
3. When removing protective liners from the adhesive tape, be careful not to touch tape with hands and do not allow tape to come in contact with dirt or any foreign matter prior to adhesion.
4. Using the palm of the hand, wet out the emblem to the front fender to ensure full adhesion  of the emblem is made.
