poohbear Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have spent 3 hours washing, hoovering and polishing my beauty today and she looks gorgeous. However, when polishing her the "C" on my Zetec badge is nearly falling off?!? Shall I buy one off e-bay or take her back and ask Ford to replace it? I feel they should as it's less than 2 months old and obviously has not been glued on properly. I don't want a Zete car, there not as good as the Zetec's! I bet Ford will say badges aren't in warranty and they can't replace them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvangough Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Stick it back with a bit of silicone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenymk7 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 take it back and complain, its always the way forward!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 De-badge it, it looks better anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Double sided tape will do the job! Although going back to ford before it drops off is the best bet. They should fix it without hastle, I'd "just drop in on passing" they may do it there and then as long as the letter is still on the car!

dav Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 take it straight back to ford and i think they will just break out the silicone if they don't then you know what to do.... go home and break out your silicone :D or de-badge your car :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 They wont silicone it on they're stuck on with the tape that you stick number plates on with. Its not supposed to let go easily, which for anyone who's debadged their car is certainly the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohbear Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 It is literally wobbling off....to the point someone could easily peel it of. I can't do anything till Tuesday as don't think the parts department opens till then. Saying that, my other half has gone to the stoneleigh kit car show today so will ask him to get me something to stick it on with. I teach children....I only have pritt stick!

MichellefromEssex Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I would say take it back but after the way you were treated last time (with the looking down your top experience) I would recommend you take your OH with you this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe just leave the "C" and tell people that its a special limited edition "poohbear zetec" made by Ford for poohbear, and named the "zete" by Ford. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd just be more subtle about it. Mechanics dont get out much you know and seeing a woman is a rare bonus to a filthy thankless job lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
