CHEVROLET emblem wiggle?


Recommended Posts

Was getting some sap off of the side of my door that was on the lettering of 'CHEVROLET'...noticed that if i grabbed the letter and gave a little effort I could actually wiggle the letters....all of them.

 

I thought it was possible that it was that one door, but the passenger is the same.

 

Can anyone confirm?

 

Its a '14 silverado

where are you located?, i.e. ambient temperature. If the surface of your truck is hot is would not be unreasonable that the emblem adhesive could be softened by the heat and in as much, would not take much force to "wiggle" them.

browse a lot, but never made a profile, and I googled a lot before posting this question and could need find any feedback.

 

I'm from NH, ambient right now is about 85-90 so yes the panels of the truck are warm just not very impressed the adhesive would soften like that. Not an excuse in my book.

 

Here is the truck:

My 2010 has done this from new and the letters stay on fine. Relax and don't mess with it and you will have no worries

These letters are stuck on with double sided thin foam tape. With the temps that you have in the summer time this stuff will become soft and pliable. They will move around like you have seen in hot temps. I live in Georgia and have never had any letters come off. You will be fine just leave them alone.

Didn't know they put CHEVROLET on the doors, do you mean SILVERADO?

 

They use foam tape, and are designed to move/give a little. Otherwise they would pop off if anything came in contact with them.

It is a major design flaw and only applies to the GM trucks. I would take it to your dealer and complain. After three attempts with out a fix I would force them to buy it back. Make sure you raise hell on every form that pertains to these trucks too...
