Reattaching front nose emblem?

[V10SpeedLuvr]

About a year ago, someone ripped my front emblem off the car. I found the emblem near the car on the ground and reattached it with some sort of super duper insanely strong glue that I found at a local parts place. Fast forward to yesterday and I noticed the emblem was really loose and actually pulled it off the car w/no effort at all. So, whats a good adhesive to use that may last more than a year? TIA!

Thanks Dave. Remember where you bought those?

p.s.--Someone has a great looking avatar. Quite possibly, the best I've seen around here

is it possible to switch to the new emblem. "fangs" instead of "sneaky pete"

Sure. If you want to have the wrong badge on your car. Just go buy one and stick it on. Not complicated at all.


CHAD... I got it from McMaster Carr. Try a body shop or body shop supply house.

3M molding tape works good also, if you can't find Dave's stuff. It can be gotten in the body section at autozone or advanced auto.

More baseless allegations against me, and this time even from a fellow GA-VCA guy Back to the subject at hand, here are some pics of Sneaky Pete in the happier days when he was still attached to the bumper

Not Sneaky Pete's best photo, he was partially blocked by a large object in this pic

Out of the 3, I was only the cameraman for the 1st one, so I can only be blamed for 1/3 of the nastiness

I've been looking online and not having any luck finding that stuff, so I'll take you up on the offer. I'll owe you a beer....you do drink beer, right?

You're not the 1st to ask me that. I can't remember her name, all I remember is she was from Arizona, was married and had 2 kids (not exactly sure I believe that, but thats what she said)

3M super weather strip adhesive. Make sure you buy 3M and not permatex. Comes in yellow and black. Very hard to clean up if you use too much. GTS Bruce

Guys use 3M double sided tape. Its what they use from the factory. I put them on all of the time after removing them for clear bra installations. Works like a champ...

Must have loosened when a yellow car blew past you and sucked the emblem right off your slow red car like the first time....

I crack myself up.

Also, don't know if this is the norm but my fascia has a triangle notch dead center on the inside of the fascia. This is located above the rubber seal that the leading edge of the hood seals against. I would imagine this is standard and used to line up the emblem. The 96 manual lists 3.3 inches from the top of the fascia on center. I used the same 3M VHB/double sided tape mentioned after I had my fascia re sprayed.

Robert, please see the post I quoted ahead of yours. It is what we call a "helpful" post. Why don't you try 1 one day?

Thanks for the info everyone (excluding Mopar Boy). I'm gonna go the dave6666 way and use the VHB squares he offered to send

Yea...I hear yellow cars like to **** heads off of snakes

I crack myself up too!!

 

[dave6666]

Yeah, you want to stay away from that yellow pig snot weather stripping adhesive. Nasty gooey and sticky just like a "bee" driver.

Gets everywhere and just won't go away!

One would think that might actually help it stick better, no?

First, I am not sure I am a helpful person when it comes to red cars. I would have to meditate on that one to find out. I will have to determine if I can still be one with myself if I am helping/supporting something that is red.

Secondly, I WAS very helpful. I waited until you got all of your answers then threw the rock as you got the info you needed. It took all of the self control I had to wait that long.

I will shut up now as I see yellow is not the color of choice in this thread.

Now returning to regularly scheduled red Viper issues....

With all that babbling about nothing, I do believe the biggest surprise is you made a post with no misspellings

I will shut up now as I see yellow is not the color of choice in this thread.

We don't want you to feel left out. You can start a thread titled "Tell me about your biggest racing loss in your Viper" and it should be 100% all about yellow Vipers
