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.

The amazon and ebay review sections indicate they are different sizes and spacing, and won't fit across those model years. The font looks ever so slightly different too.

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.

I also had a really hard time getting some of the clips on the tops of the letters to click. But I figured out a good way to do it, so I figured I’d share. I stuck my hands through the grill at the spots I highlight in the picture and run my hand behind the grill as far as I can get. Then feed a flathead screwdriver through the grill to my hand,  and use that to get the clips to click. Word of caution: don’t drop the screwdriver. I have average sized arms and didn’t have any problem doing it this way.

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.

 

 

This was the single best hack I have found for anything in months! Removal & install was 10 minutes. Caveat - I broke the skinny part of the "C" by sheer force. If you want to resell or save, be forewarned to be careful. Even though you "break" the red insets away, I'm sure you could super glue them back in if your careful. Thanks!!
