I would say replacing it is the only way to fix it. How old is your truck should be under warranty.

Yours is the first I've heard or read having a problem. I have read where others have done a "custom" paint job on theirs; there's a guy either here or on the other Ford forum that sells custom painted Ford logos.

Otherwise it could be under warrantee.

Mine did the same thing at ~800 miles. I took it to the dealer and they just replaced it, but it is a bit ridiculous that it had to be replaced.

Mine has done the same thing on the all four sides (06 with 55K)... Local Ford Stealership offered to replace them (cost = 184), and I told them I would find an alternate solution... On another site there is an actual "how too" create your own custom painted logo... Thought about giving that a shot...

Mine did the same thing. Ford replaced under warranty with no questions asked. But, like stated above there are "HOW TO" articles on fixing the problem.
