How to Reattach Badges and Emblems on Your Car

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Manufacturer emblem

Video tutorial

Badges and emblems on your car can come loose and fall off, and if not reattached correctly, they may come off again. This video teaches you how to do a proper job permanently.

Most of these components are attached with double-sided tape, and when they come off, part of it remains stuck to the bodywork; this sticky part collects dust and debris, which is why when reattaching your badge, it continues to fall off. You need to remove it completely; there are many types of solvents suitable for this purpose, but the YouTuber is using fine wet sandpaper and a lot of care.

It would also be a good idea to completely remove the badge and take measurements first, perhaps with some masking tape, to ensure you reposition the badge exactly in its place.

Naturally, as seen in the video, if you want to reuse the same badge, you need to do a tedious and precise job, perfectly cutting the double-sided tape around the badge: remove the protective paper and heat the back of the badge with a lighter, so it adheres better to the surface of the bodywork.
