• Q: How to install the No. 2 luggage compartment door name plate and other emblems on 2008 Scion xD?

  A: The installation of the No. 2 luggage compartment door name plate requires heating the double-sided adhesive tape on the back door panel with infrared light at 40 to 60 degrees Celsius (104 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1 to 2 minutes before using a cloth to remove the tape while maintaining complete tape clearance to stop adhesion failure. Non-residue solvent should be used to clean the surface while installation of the new name plate occurs in environments above 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) or through combined warming of both the back door panel and name plate to 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit) before the process. The process for cleaning the symbol emblem attachment surface requires heating double-sided adhesive tape from the back panel then removing it while hot followed by non-residue solvent cleaning. Position the two pins in the back door panel before emblem installation in temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) but heat the components when room temperature dips below 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit). Install the radiator grille emblem by first cleaning the surface of attachment with heating and removal of hot double-sided tape from the engine hood and following this with non-residue solvent cleaning. For correct installation of the emblem insert its 2 pins into the engine hood and apply it when ambient temperatures exceed 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) or while performing heating.
