Black tower moomba lettering???

[LakePerson1952]

The little lettering on the tower of my 2010 mobius are falling out...most are now missing. Is anyone else experiencing this?

On my 2010 Outback, one of the letters came out within the first week or two after I bought it. I assume my tower is similar to yours and it seems that the tower has "MOOMBA" milled out (with a kind of banded pattern in the bottom) and the milled out letters were then filled with a latex like material forming a kind of insert. When my letter came out I saw it before it fell off and saved it. I originally planned to glue it back on but when I talked to dealer, he said he thought it looked cool without the rubber and suggested I might want to remove them all. Looking at it in that context, I decided that I, too, thought it might actually look better without the rubber insert but haven't yet quite decided to actually remove them. I guess I'm worried that some of them might not come out "cleanly".

Others have mentioned "3D". I guess mine are 3D letters but, because the metal was milled out and then filled with rubber, the 3D in inset into the metal of the tower and the surface is actually slightly concave from the surface of the tower metal.

I like the way my engraved letters look, but I've also gouged my knuckles several times on the sharp edges.
