Well, this is the third time a letter has come off. The first time was due to the poor job done at the dealer. Not sure how the second came off, but I found it while fixing my fog lamps. Yesterday, my E came off at the car wash. I suspect a drying rag caught it. I've had terrible luck at car washes - first the passenger's mirror gets ripped off and now this. I don't blame the car wash on the letters, because they aren't recessed. I used an epoxy to attach them. With the letter off, you could see the epoxy had lost it's grip. I was able to run my finger offer it and it just pealed off. Luckily, I bought a second set for just this reason. My luck it couldn't have been an M. Anyway, I went to get another backup set and can't find them on eBay.

Has anyone found good solid, think 3M auto tape online. This time, I want to be sure they don't come off. I'm going to leave a strip of masking tape in the car and just cover the letters when I get it washed. I go through a "touch-free" car wash, because it's just too damn cold here in NY to wash my car.

My HUMMER look awesome yesterday, but the missing letter bugged the hell out of me!

Mine are holding on fine. After being through heat in the Summer and now Winter, to include the elements of salt spray from the back of other tires and high pressure "Touch less" car washes, I have no problems. I am not using 3M double sided tape. I used a industrial clear epoxy that comes in a dual needle like applicator and must be mixed and cured for about 10 minutes before applying. The drying time is 12 to 14 hours in moderate temperature. This stuff is no joke. Check my thread on the "Photos of your H3", under Lil red H3. I have seen other people use double sided tape and you can see the thickness of the white tape sticking out of the side of the letters and I think it looks "cheap" The clear epoxy leaves no obvious signs of "home made modification" when done right and done with patience.

Good to know they stand up to the test of time
