Acquiring an authentic Bentley emblem requires purchasing through authorized dealerships or certified aftermarket parts suppliers. Genuine emblems feature precise casting, sharp detailing, and anti-counterfeit holograms. Verify authenticity via the Bentley parts verification portal before proceeding.
Installation Requirements
- Genuine Bentley emblem with pre-applied 3M automotive-grade adhesive
- Surface temperature must be between 15°C - 30°C
- Isopropyl alcohol & microfiber cloth
- Alignment template (included with OEM parts)
- Trim removal tool
Installation Process
Surface Preparation: Clean installation area thoroughly using isopropyl alcohol. Eliminate all wax residue or contaminants. Allow surface to dry completely.
Template Alignment: Position the factory-supplied alignment template on the vehicle. Verify centering via measurements from adjacent body lines.
Emblem Mounting:
- Peel the protective film from the adhesive backing
- Align emblem pins with template guide holes
- Apply firm, even pressure (40-50 PSI) for 30 seconds
- Remove alignment template horizontally
Curing Protocol: Avoid washing or high-pressure exposure for 72 hours. Adhesive reaches 90% bonding strength within 24 hours at recommended temperatures.
Quality Verification
Inspect for uniform gap clearance (0.5mm ±0.1mm) around emblem edges. Confirm adhesive ooze-out forms continuous bead. Test bond strength with 90° vertical pull using trim tool – genuine emblems withstand 50N force without separation.
