So I looked up the part number and the sticker used only for 1997 had been discontinued.

I was thinking perhaps there is a way to use a heat gun or something like that and then just spray some 3m adhesive on it once removed..........does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My trunk lid was recently damaged in an accident and will need to be replaced. Naturally I don't want to loose my option sticker. I am looking for a way to safely remove it, without messing it up and then transfer it to the new trunk lid. I was thinking perhaps there is a way to use a heat gun or something like that and then just spray some 3m adhesive on it once removed..........does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done? Brian

POST 2Original post

When my trunk lid was replaced I asked the body shop to save my option sticker. They did and it was put on the new lid. I think they used heat. I also had them replace the other stickers. On my 1997 Box that was the a/c sticker and tire pressure. These stickers can be ordered new from Porsche. If you look at your stickers they have part numbers on them.

POST 3Original post

Wow, part numbers? Future restorations made easy?

POST 4Original post

Well, don't tell anyone but I would lose points with a judge that knew his stuff. I have a 1997 Boxster, the first year. Only wheels that year were 16" and 17". My original tire sticker only showed 16" and 17" wheels. In 1998 18" wheels became an option and the tire sticker showed all 3. The color of the sticker also changed from silver to black. When I picked up the car from the body shop I spotted that the "wrong" wheel sticker had been put on. So I looked up the part number and the sticker used only for 1997 had been discontinued. That wheel sticker is now on the gas flap for you newer owners. On the early cars it was to the right of the option sticker. But I was happy they were able to peel off the paper option sticker in one piece and put it on the new lid.
