Carefully remove the letter, then clean both the bumper cover and the letter of all previous adhesive. Purchase a roll of the 3M double-sided tape and re-apply.

You should be good-to-go then.

Clean surfaces prepped with Alcohol is essential as mine have been on the car for 7 years, and not 1 issue.

Keep us posted.

If it comes up enough to carefully remove it it is very easy to remove the old double sided tape & the new 3M double sided tape (available at the local parts store) can be applied to the back, carefully trimmed around the outline of the letter and reinstalled on the bumper (after thorough cleaning of the bumper).

I just did all of mine after "Frankenbumper" was rebuilt/repainted by the body shop - they all look just fine!

Don't fix what aint broke.

:D

I would do the one letter, but keep an eye on the rest. If you lose 1 letter, it's buy a whole set time.

Yes. I have the SS (Stainless Steel) Inserts.

I shouldn't have assumed you had the same, even though they are the most popular.

I have the Stainless Steel Inserts - the decals will not work w/double sided tape.

If you really really really really careful, you might be able to save it.... How to get is stuck back on is another story.
