How to Fix Script Screw in Car Body

What is Script Screw?

Script screw is a type of screw that is used to secure emblems and badges to the body of a car. They are typically small, with a Phillips head, and are made of brass or stainless steel. Over time, script screws can become loose or damaged, which can cause the emblems or badges to fall off. If you find that a script screw is loose or damaged, it is important to fix it as soon as possible to prevent the emblem or badge from falling off.

Tools and Materials Needed

Phillips head screwdriver
New script screw(s)
Emblem or badge (if necessary)

Instructions

Locate the loose or damaged script screw. It will be located on the back of the emblem or badge.
Use the Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw. Be careful not to strip the head of the screw.
If the screw is damaged, discard it and replace it with a new one.
If the emblem or badge is also damaged, you will need to replace it. To do this, carefully pry the old emblem or badge off of the body of the car. Be careful not to damage the paint or bodywork.
Apply a small amount of adhesive to the back of the new emblem or badge and press it into place on the body of the car.
Insert the new script screw into the hole in the emblem or badge and tighten it with the Phillips head screwdriver.

Tips

If you are having trouble removing a script screw, you can try using a pair of pliers to grip the screw and turn it.
If the emblem or badge is made of plastic, be careful not to overtighten the script screw, as this could crack the plastic.
If you are replacing an emblem or badge, be sure to use the correct size and type of script screw. The screw should be long enough to reach through the emblem or badge and into the body of the car, but not so long that it protrudes through the other side.

Conclusion

Fixing a script screw is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. By following the instructions above, you can keep your emblems and badges securely attached to your car.
