Yes, and? it melted? call first, email also, then send it back with a confirming nod from them. tell us how it all turns out.
Edit based on new info: no, don't order it. he's telling you what could happen. if he didn't say, hey, if it happens, just return it for free, then it means he's warning you: you buy, you bought it.
as clint would say, are you feeling lucky, today? unless he says something different, it melts, it's on your dime and all yours.

I think that yours was from me, correct? None of my customers have had any issues with emblems I provided melting.

I did get this from you. The battery cover and the emblem. I have never had any problem with this or any of the other great mods that you provide for forum members.

If someone is trying to sell you something that can melt, it has to be crap. Don't buy it.
Buy it from Ed!

I have never heard of a OEM crossed flag emblem melting by being placed on top of a battery cover, nor any place else under the hood. Not sure who told you that or where the information originates but I've never seen anything to that effect posted.
