Product Description
Hummer H2 Rear Deck "H2" Emblem, Polished & Brushed Stainless, 2 Pieces, 2003-2009 (HV43020)
HV43020 is one of two "H2" emblem kits QAA lists for the rear of the Hummer H2, and its note names the finish that sets it apart: "Polished & Brushed Stainless Steel." The kit has two pieces, cataloged as Letter Graphics with the note "Rear Deck "H2" Emblem," and it is listed for the H2 4-door SUV across 2003 to 2009. Like the rest of the line, it is 26-gauge 304 stainless steel made in the USA.
Two finishes on one emblem
A polished surface is mirror-bright; a brushed surface has fine directional lines that give a softer, satin look. This kit's note says it combines both. The catalog doesn't say which areas of the emblem are polished and which are brushed, so look at the product photos to see the effect. If you prefer an all-mirror look, compare it with the other kit below.
Choosing between HV43020 and HV43026
Both kits are two-piece rear deck "H2" emblems for the same years and body. The only difference the catalog records is the finish note: HV43020 reads "Polished & Brushed Stainless Steel," and HV43026 reads "Polished Stainless Steel." Beyond that, the data doesn't describe any difference in shape or size, so put the two listings' photos side by side. If the photos leave you uncertain, call and we can describe them.
What the two pieces are
The catalog gives the count but doesn't describe each piece. The photos show how they come together on the rear of the SUV, and they're the reference for placement.
Install
Both H2 emblems mount with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape over the existing surface, without drilling. According to QAA, that tape holds for a lifetime and won't damage the Hummer's surface.
Emblems are small, highly visible, and easy to set crooked, so take the time to get alignment right. Wash the area, wipe with rubbing alcohol, and let it dry. Hold both pieces in place with the liners on, step back several feet, and check the emblem looks level and properly spaced. Mark the position lightly with painter's tape. Peel, set, and press each piece firmly over its whole surface. If the existing area has a factory badge, compare its location with the photos before you start.
Rear-end parts on the sheet
Other H2 parts for the back include HV43001, an eight-piece "HUMMER" rear bumper letter set with two accents; HV43012, a three-piece rear bumper accent with a logo cutout; HV43005, a license plate bezel; and HV43016, a fourteen-piece tail light ring package. Check each listing.
Care for a brushed finish
Wash with mild soap and water and dry with a soft towel. On brushed areas, wipe along the grain rather than across it, and never use abrasive pads or polishing compounds, which can change the brushed texture.
Fitment
Check your model year against the 2003-2009 range first; HV43020 is listed for the four-door H2 SUV.

Installation tips: Letter Graphics
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
