Help.... I popped my T!

As you can see in the pic I included, the T in the lettering Carrera GT on the ass of the car is off! I was drying the car one afternoon and my towel snagged the letter T and it popped right off! I freaked out. From what I can tell, it was held on with what looks like double sided tape or foam tape. Is there a easier way to reattach it or a brand name of tape that would work? I was going to give clear silicone glue a try but I was afraid it may harm the paint. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Best fix is to get the factory part and have your detailer remove the old double back tape and apply the new letter.

WTH??? Can't believe this happened on a half million car!!

Michael, you can try those double sided tape designed for cars, you should be able to find them online, but you better clean the old tape first before you put the new one on. NEVER use glues!! They are not good for cars!!

BTW, you have such a perfect garage!

was kidding.

stay away from any glue. order the new lettering from dealer (if u can't get it i'll mail u some). the double sided tape should come off easy but DO NOT rub on paint to get them off. use hair dryer & goo-gone if needed.

Thanks for the replies. I called the salesman a few months ago and he said he was going to order a new set of lettering for me but he never came thru and I forgot to call him a second time. I'll do that on Monday.

There was also, not a recall in the true sense, but an update on the door (closers?) and a improvement on the headlights seal so they wouldn't (fog up?) He said he would take care of those too but again it's my fault for not harassing him enough. I called one dealer and he couldn't handle any repairs cause they didn't have the special lift just for the Carrara GT! What the heck? Damn cheap ass car! hilarious

Looks like you should sell that damaged POS to me at 1/10th the price and buy yourself a non-damaged CGT. Rich peepple suck. Just kidding. ;)
