Put the new grafiics on my boat last year , and noticed the T is starting to peel at the top corner . I bought a high end marine vinyl from the designer so it must be from the installer . Will probably order another letter but wouldn't mind a fix if anyone has ran into this issue .

This is a link to Great Lettering. http://www.greatlettering.com/ They made the graphics for both my boats. Their normal prices are very inexpensive, but they have sales 2-3 times a year at about 40% off. The lettering on one boat is two years old and on the other boat is 4-5 years old, and both look as good as when I applied them. I expect they'll have a spring sale. I used simple, one color lettering, but they can do all the usual shadowing, multi colors, etc.

I had something similar with my lettering. Superglue did the trick

I bought my lettering from Boat US. Boat US use to have s tore in Alexandria, VA adjacent to their Insurance Headquarters buildings. Thye then changed the store into a West marine store and now that closed but the insurance company is still there and I believe the Boat US Graphics is also still there.

In any case, I had smudged a letter or two on my finger slip. I went down to the Graphics store to get some replacement matl. They checked my order to ensure they gave me the right matl and just cut me a short piece (ie. 6" or so long) and gave it to me free. So, I did not replace the two letters but only had to fix one edge on each letter. I still have plenty of matl left in case any addl smudges, etc occur. The graphics are now over 10 years old and still look like the day I applied the lettering.

Maybe you can just repair the letter(s) by just getting a piece/scrap of same matl from your graphic supplier ?
