In this repair video we will go over how to rebadge a Z71 truck that is missing the rear vinyl decal. These decals are sometimes removed by prior owners when performing a de-badging of the truck. In this video, we put it back the way GM designers intended the truck to look.

The truck illustrated is a 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche LT Z71 Black Diamond Edition, but the part number, procedure and tools shown in this video would be applicable for any 2007 thru 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, or GMC Sierra pickup truck as well as the 2013 Chevrolet Avalanche.
