Water pressure will wash it away because it is made cheap. Had the same
problem

The SAAB logo on the hood of my car suddenly vanished. I can still see
a round metal piece with an imprint of the logo - but it look like
plain steel. Is that a sticker of some sort that could have been ripped
off by someone? Or is that a metal piece that is glued to the hood?
Anyone had similar issues? My suspicion is that it fell off when the
car was washed. Can it be replaced? Help appreciated.

Thanks all for the info/advice. I guess I will be ordering a
replacement from one of the suggested sites.

I don't think it will help. The badge detaches under the paint from
the metal surface due to adhesion problems. I don't think surface
protection is going to help at all.
I'm inclined to agree with you on this.

Fred,

There is no adhesion, there are 2 plastic nipples, no adhesive at all. That's not the issue. It is surface peel-off from many natural elements.

No, not the mounting of the emblem to the car. I've changed plenty of
them over my years to know how they mount. It's the adhesion of the
colored paint to the face of the emblem that is the problem. Covering
the paint with some "shield" will not keep it from cracking and peeling
off like it is wont to do.

I like it like that, since them I call my 9000 the "silver
edition"....I see it as a medal, a compliment for it's years of true
service. Since mine peeled of when it had about 250.000Km on the
clock. When I reach 500.000Km I could get it painted gold... ;-)

Haha... Funny. When I was reading your first line about liking the
silver I was thinking that very thing:

"I wonder how it would look plated gold?"

I guess it would look absolutely terrible, as in tasteless and very
nouveauriche'esque. Something like white a pearle white eighties
Mercedes S-class with a gold plated star on the hood, that you would
see an oil sheik driving around in at the Cote d'azur 20 years ago, or
like the "real solid golden keys" Cadillac used to upsell the "gold
key delivery program with, on the 1986 Eldorado and Seville models...

In othe words: A *must* have !!! If my 9K ever makes it to 500.0000 I
hereby solemly swear that I will have the hood logo gold plated ...

Just like I would go bezirk if I could ever lay my hands on something
