Hey Guys,

Just thought I would let you know tha I was washing my engine bay last weekend and as I wiped over my Bullitt ID sticker I noticed that the ink on the sticker smudged, as I looked closer the soap had taken a part of the ink off. You can barely read #001366 any more.

Does anyone know how hard it is to get these stickers replaced?

I was thinking of sprying a clear coat laquer over it to protect it and make it last. After hearing that it wipes off, I'm definatly going to coat it!!

 

[TwoStangWmn]

I was mentioned awhile back to put a coat of epoxy over it and let it dry and then apply another coat........

I still have yet to do that!

 

[Havgunwiltrav]

My entire engine bay has that rustproofing over it dealer said it came that way NOT! anyway i can see my sticker fine but still wonder how to clean up my bay without destroying the sticker! Thanx Havgun #1676

Any kind of cleaner that you use will destroy that sticker. I like the clearcoating idea but we have no idea (yet) of what the clearcoat chemicals will do to the sticker.. or even the epoxy. It really sucks. It could smudge or even destry the sticker by coating it with anything. The only "real" way to protect it, that I can think of, would be to use that 3M stuff that they use for the invisible car bra's. That you could just cut and apply over the whole shock tower.. or at least the front of it with a squarish piece.

I spoke with my dealer yesterday about getting my sticker replaced. Today I was told by my dealer that Ford is aware of the problem with the stickers and that Ford WILL be replacing the stickers. My dealer got this straight from Ford - I really trust my dealer I have worked with this guy forever. He was unaware of what they are replacing the stickers with. He was also unaware of how they will be replacing these sticker (due to the security of not wanting these sticker to be duplicated). If I hear anything more I will let you know.

so that is what life was like in the olden days... before the invention of Cleartastic and the combination of PY and scissors to that great clear miracle of science!!

[Wolverine]

I'll vouch for the cleaning. One shot of simple green and my sticker is completely bare!

No number anymore!

 

[lee50guru]

Sticker...what sticker? :grin:
Mine is gone. I need to look into the replacement.

Ziebart offers a product called "Z-Shield". It supposed to offer the following:

- Transparent film protects paint and trim
- Prevents paint chipping and scratching
- Guaranteed not to peel or yellow
- Safely removable later if desired

Maybe it can be applied to just the shock tower.

Should have bought protection from PY !

 

[TwoStangWmn]

DON'T WIPE THE STICKERS! Having lots of problems now with new owners coming on and they can't read their sticker ID#'s as the previous owner(s) wiped them clean or smudged them.

FORD really made a bad mistake with the sticker idea. :evil:

 

[TrueBlue02058]

I recieved my new sticker from Ford last year and it isn't going on the car.

 

[Droopy]

The additional sticker from Ford was corrected and has a protective coating on it to prevent this. I replaced the sticker on my 01 with the 4th sticker as someone wiped the numbers off..

 

[BullittDude]

Okay, I'm starting to get a little frustrated with my dealership. I have asked the service department time and time again about the 4th sticker. They have no clue what I am talking about. I printed off the TB that I found on here and showed it to them. They still don't know anything about. Any other course of action I could pursue that doesn't require a trip up north to another dealership?

 

[Droopy]

Go to the part department. That's where i got mine. They called the number on the TSB and I got it the same week.

 

[hoosierblackbullitt]

I have heard not to use solvent based products on the decal to keep the numbers and letters on them. I have frequently wiped over it with a finger or a damp cloth and have never noticed any thing coming off.

 

[DavidMidgley]

Mine is fine, but the POs had taken good care of it. I do have the 4th sticker, as DC25, the last owner before me ordered it from Ford.

Collin, aka PY, gave me a Cleartastic cover. A static sticker that is clear. I have taken it off once or twice in the past 7 years to wipe behind the sticker with a very soft damp cloth. Then placed the Cleartastic back on the sticker. y1:
