blreves Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 what is the best way to replace the buick letters on the rear of the 90 reatta thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reattatude Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I know there some detail instructions on that in previous posts... You can use fishing line to remove the letters...pretty basic. Did you acquire some new letters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handmedownreatta Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 so the letters stick on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDirk Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, the letters are "stuck" on with die-cut adhesive tape (VHB foam tape or some equivalent product). To put new ones on, use emblem adhesive in a tube (but don't get too sloppy with it!) as you could spend days trying to cut new tape with an x-acto knife. Fishing line worked in behind the old letters will suffice for removal, although I have had good luck with a dental pick and some gentle prying to pop them off. By now, the 20+ year old adhesive doesn't have much "juice" left, and they usually pop off pretty easy. KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Richard D Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Let the kid take them off, as long as he gives or sells them to someone who appreciates Buick's hand built sport coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
