Checkmate Graphic coming off :(

I have a checkmate edition Mini and I just noticed that the drivers side sticker is starting to peel back on the corner. Does anyone know what I can use to re-stick this part back on??

Thanks,

Ken~

Check with a local vinyl shop and see what they can do.

Still under warranty? See if the dealer will replace it.

Hmm never thought of the warranty part. Figured that they would just say its a wear and tear item so its not covered.

I have to stop by there today anyway so I will run it by them.

Thanks,

Ken~

Could this be sign to remove the checkmate decals altogether? You could always go back if you didn't like the plain look.

Other then glueing it back down ( not something I'd do ) not much you can do to get it to "restick" as it has dust and what not on the sticky part by now.. So it's remove it and or replace it..

I will talk with the dealer when I drop the car off in another week about it. They have to replace the flywheel since I now have the chubakkaa sound when taking off from a start when its cold.

It is just starting to peel up on one corner, maybe a 1/8th of an inch or so, nothing huge, but don't want it to get any bigger. I like the way it looks with the checkers on their, and besides is a checkmate edition, it needs them on their

Thanks,

Ken~
