Attach an emblem

[Echo]

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but it sort if seems to fit. So I got a replacement trunk ford emblem and I'm not sure if the best way to attach it. What would you guys use?

3m backing tape..im not sure if you can get it in anything less than like 15ft tho since i use it at work.....you might be able to find a small roll online or at a paint supply place

The tape that's on it and line it up with the holes lol

Clean area with rubbing alcohol to remove any waxes, remove tape backing, press in place

No backing came with it, its used. Looked for some 3M tape a week or so ago n couldnt find any. Guess Ill look again.

I suggest rubbing wax and grease remover on the location. Then hunt down the OEM quality 3m tape. slap that critter on and apply a new coat of wax to the area.

i wouldnt suggest any other fix... glue or jb weld would cause damage.

 

[whiplash473]

oh god definitely use nothing but backing tape..the thought of someone using glue or pastic weld never even crossed my mind

echo - try napa..they might have something

autozone and pepboys have 3m tape

Instead of paying $10 for tape to put on a used emblem why not spend a dollar or two more and get a brand new one with the adhesive?

 

[g36 monkey]

$25 for brand new from late model, exactly how they were on the assembly line. And we get a discount. I'll be ordering one in a couple days

 

[codytheoutlaw]

How do you get the discount?

Talk to Jarrod@Latemodel

autozone sells a few different widths of the 3m tape in its adhesive section across from the paints. If you want to ensure it will not fall off you might leave a few spots open between the tape for epoxy but you would have to be carefull not to use too much and to get it exactly where you want it. be sure to clean the area first....
