reattaching an inside emblem

[wht89reatta]

soooooo it's been so hot here in fort wayne for the past few weeks that the emblem on trim under the glove box has come off, any tips for reattaching it?

i used guerilla glue on mine but use it VERY stingy or it'll ooze out and look tacky like mine did

I have used "Quick Grip All-Purpose Permanent Adhesive" for this very application. It held just fine. It is a good adhesive for many purposes.

I found it at Hobby Lobby in the craft section. Micheal's and A. C. Moore would have it too.

Actually, just use 3M VHB emblem tape. This will hold great instantly (no curing time as with glue) and no worries about ooze-out or drips on the floor mat underneath. Plus, no obnoxious glue smell; many of these heavy duty glues are solvent based.

Any good auto parts store should have VHB or similar double sided high density foam tape. This is not the cheap white colored stuff used to stick mirror tiles to a wall, VHB is used to hold large plate glass windows into skyscrapers among other applications. It is usually grey or black in color, and has plastic peel-offs (not wax paper) to expose the adhesive.

As Elwood Blues would say "Strong stuff!"
