2019 GMC Emblem Installation

[nobaddays]

Do the OEM black GMC emblems come pre-assembled with the black insert attached to the chrome?

Check out this vid - I really like how the gloss black and matte black turned out.  Does anyone know if I remove the rear badges from tailgate, am I able to reinstall them after painting them?  New double sided tape??

BTW the way you did this is the way GMC instructs their techs to do this. I have the official GM instructions and I can scan them and post them here if anyone would like to see them...

Hey all,

 

I installed the OEM black GMC letters on my AT4 this weekend and thought I would pass this shortcut along.  If you don't mind being a bit destructive and want to take the easy route - just pry the red insert off of the factory emblems and it exposes the retaining clips.  Insert a screw driver and they pop right off.  No grill removal required.  I had one or two tangs that didn't immediately snap back in on the new emblems.  apply a bit of pressure to the grill tab with either your finger or a flat blade screw driver from behind until it clicks.  You are good to go.

 

 

Firstly, Thank you for this, you saved me a lot of time.  But I have a small request  -Can you better explain the best way to clip them back in?  The G sounded like it clipped in, the M didn't sound like it, but seems to be OK, and the C can slide in and slide out (It's not clipping in).  Where are you applying pressure to clip them in...from under the hood with the hood popped?  A huge storm is about to hit my area, and I can't fit in front of the truck with the garage door shut to try to finagle this to clip in, at the moment.  Hope to get a response so I can clip it in first thing tomorrow morning.   I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the shortcut! Just did it and it took 6 minutes, 2 of those were getting the box open

I did the lighted grill emblem, popped the stock one out the same way.

Does anyone know where I can find solid black metal or plastic GMC emblems for the grill and tailgate?  Id prefer metal. I don't want the chrome outlining the emblem. I can't find anything and or not sure if it will fit as most are listed as 2015-2019. I have a 2019 AT4.

 

The link below i'm not sure about?

 

Thoughts?

This guy makes all types of emblems. He made me this for my AT4 and they look great.

I am looking to take mine apart for painting. To do that I will have to remove the red insides and glue them back together. When you separated these were they reusable?

Very unlikely you’ll get them out without breaking them.

[TXguy]

Does anyone that’s changed out their front and rear emblems want to sell them?

You can actually get the front emblems out if you just remove the air intake tray and reach your fingers through the active air flow vents.  you can also unclip a vent or two if you need to.

Thanks. I will have to try that.

This might be a slightly random question, but it does pertain to the badges.

 

Does anyone know if the '14-'18 GMC badges are the same size as the '19-'20?

Looking at American flag overlays and haven't been able to find them for my '20.
