Default front hood letters

Has anyones letters ever started to peel off?

My E in range is coming off and so is the E the rover.

Does anyone know what type of adhesive can be used to glue it back on the car.

Once they start to peel, there is no way to permanently stop it other then replacing the letters.
Any glue will probably give you a short term fix.

Wow, they peel?

Any tips for preventing them from peeling? Or is this limited to older Rovers?

I do not remember exact price but my dealer had a set around $170 (????) I was looking at an 01 that needed letters. I was using the price to lower dealer cost, however I found my 02 at a better price so I purchased that one instead. It did not need new letters.

No, this happens to other cars also. The S on my Porsche also started peeling. I am just super careful when drying but it is just a matter of time. If it is a newer car the dealership will take care of it at no charge.

If you can find the correct font and size you can always have a local sign shop make them for you, probably for half of what you buy from a Rover parts house.
