Ford Emblems bubbling

Hey guys, the front and back ford emblems on my truck are starting to bubble, and look like crap. How easy are these things to replace/cover with an overlay and can anyone give me some steps of going about it?

thanks

If you are still under warranty, they should replace that.

Funny story...

So, when I first got my truck I didn't know that there were holes underneath the badges on the fenders. (I can't believe I'm telling you guys this story...) So my friend and I used a heat gun to melt the adhesive out, and pull the badge off. Well once we realized our mistake, we pushed the badges back on. However the heat gun had warped the badges pretty bad. About a month later I wen to get an oil change and the service department noticed the badge. I wasn't going to say anything because I knew that it was my fault, but they asked me if I wanted it replaced...

So if it's under warranty they will replace it!

Another thought, I ended up swapping out the fender badges with the Saleen S331 Side vents. I bought mine on eBay for about $30 (with shipping) good for a blackout look.

EDIT: Wow... I'm slow. I just realized that you were talking about front and rear badges... <facepalm/> Anyway, I couldn't see why they wouldn't replace that either...

Yeah, if it's under warranty they will replace them.

If not, overlays are easy to install.

I need to get a new one under the bumper to bumper warranty. The rear is perfect but the front looks as though water got inside it. Bubbles all over. Looks awful.

i've gone through 3 front ones already. The newest one (i bought in july when i had the new grille / bumpers done) has held up well, but its only a matter of time.

It's not just Arizona, it's happening to the emblem on my F-250 grill, and it's (the grill) only 3 years old.
