How to reattach emblems
My right front GTA emblem fell off while I was repairing my power antenna and now I need to reattach it somehow. What's the best/most appropriate thing to use to reattach the emblem?

I've found the tape to be temperamental and cause the emblems to stick out, anymore for emblems I just prefer a dab or two of black gasket maker. The downside is that it can cause light colored paints to be dyed where the gasket maker was but the emblem covers it up anyway.

Die cut 3M tape is what the factory used.

The shop that repainted the side ground effect on my car replaced the badge using a very thin two sided tape.
I do not know who it was made by though.

Re: How to reattach emblems
Interesting. The GTA emblem is not a solid rectangular emblem. It has "cut outs" sort of around the letters so I would not have thought the tape would be the right thing to use. But if that's what was used by the factory then I guess I'll break out my razor blade.
