ralph Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi Just noticed the blue oval ford badge on the rear of my 2010 Mondeo Mk4 Hatch is starting to bubble under the blue paint... I guess if it gets worse I will buy a replacement. I gues water has somehow got in under the badges laminate surface! Firstly ...... Is this a common fault? Secondly.... If I take the original one off, does anyone know if it is just stuck on with double sided tape, or is it attached by a bolt through to the inside of the tailgate?? Thanks in advance Ralph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think it's a common issue - I tend to see a lot like it. The one on my Mk3 is just stuck on. I know because I had to get the remainder of it off after some git broke it trying to steal it. Easy to get off - get a bit of dental floss and slide it down the back of the badge, sawing backwards and forwards through the tape that holds it on. I got the remainder of the residue off by rubbing it with a damp cloth, and did the final clean-up using Scratch-X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Ralph Hi Ralph, Yeah, it's common. Basically happens to every badge! I don't know if it's held on with tape or a bolt. But, you get overlays on eBay. From what I've seen, they look just as good. Sent from my KFTT using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italiot Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It's happened to mine in looking to get gel overlays to put on as I have they are a good replacement Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks everyone I'm looking into the Gel overlays too but surely if you're sticking them over the top of the existing badge they will stick out/protrude a long way and look a bit odd? ....

BigD Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have DMB gel overlays on mine too (well, all but the back one, which was black and silver and looks the dog's doodars, which is probably why somebody decided to steal it). You honestly can't tell that they're overlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiot Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've been looking at dmb ones so looks like they are a good choice Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't think they would be bad. Sent from my KFTT using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Get them quick if you want a set. Ford are withdrawing their licence to produce them in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
