Seems a 6-hour drive in direct sunlight is enough for the glue to fail. I pulled these off before loosing them to highway wind. Anyone know what kind of glue is needed to stick them back on? Looks like the entire decal needs resticking but the other letters seemed to be stuck on enough, hopefully…

o_O I never heard that from happening before. My truck that's antimatter blue gets super hot in the sun. I have it sit all day long in the sun and that doesn't happen.

there are 3m double sided automotive tape you can get but they usually have a slim foam centre. Not sure if they will end up being different heights from the other ones. If it were me I would definitely take it back to Ford under warranty. Must have been a defect when applying adhesive to your letters.

Antimatter blue too. Out of warranty now so will need to take care of it myself. Maybe I’ll reach out to ford and see if they can send me a new one as a goodwill gesture - I can’t see these costing them more than a few cent.

$35 looks like. Can't tell if that's one or a pair as it says fits left and right.
