Thanks for the tips. I just ordered the new script and looking forward to replacing the broken one.Ron, dental floss also works well. Just go slowly and use a sawing motion close to the car body. I started on the Thunder side and worked to the right. WD-40 will help with the residue that may be left.

This is exactly right with one suggestion; put some blue painter's tape at the left edge and along the bottom of the original emblem - then placing the new one properly is a breeze.The original emblem is held in place with a 3M double stick tape. Using a hair dryer you can heat up the letters and gently remove the old letters. The remaining glue can be removed with varsol or a product like GOO-GONE. The replacement letters will have the same 3M adhesive tape backing. You peal the red tape off and carefully install the new letters in place since it is near impossible to reposition the letters once positioned.
Good luck.
yep thanks! I had already thought about that. Everyone is so helpful here I love it!!! I don't feel alone dealing with issues.This is exactly right with one suggestion; put some blue painter's tape at the left edge and along the bottom of the original emblem - then placing the new one properly is a breeze.
Wish I had the little piece that broke off I wouldn't hav had to buy a whole new one.The last four (bird) letters have come loose on my car. I cleaned the back side with alcohol applied very small amount of super glue and clamped it in place for a few hours and all is well.
Where did you find a replacement emblem?"Thunderbird" removed from your subject. This is a Thunderbird site, so this is not required.

I would go with this:What is the best glue to use? I have a 2005 with pieces (which I have in my glove box) that broke off opposite ends on both sides. I would prefer to just glue them back than buy NOS ones.
