Hood emblem gasket
 
Hi guys,

I've done a search on this online but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting this gasket on the crest. I did this years ago but I don't remember how I accomplished it. I made the mistake of taking my crest of and I can't.get.it back on. Thanks.

I'm not sure I have the right gasket for the 99355921100 emblem. If anyone has any information, I'd appreciate it.

Starter, I'm not sure what link your talking about..

I tried to soak in hot water Burg. I guess I'll try it again.

By all indications Starter had an attitude while still in his mother’s womb.

I think whatever rubber/plastic that gasket is made from may experience some kind of permanent shrinkage as it ages that can't be fixed by soaking in hot water. I had a similar experience a few years ago. One of the studs on the back of the emblem broke off as I was removing it to fix the gasket. I ended up buying a new gasket and emblem, and the hot water trick worked perfectly on the new gasket. Good luck!

Good point. I'm wondering if this "new" gasket I purchase has just been sitting around a warehouse and is harden to the point it won't expand 🤔
