Attaching Emblems
Did a search and couldn't find anything on the proper way to attach the Corvette letters on the back of my 72 and the Stingray emblems on the side of the fenders. I need to know how the factory did it since someone just had a dab of glue holding each piece on after a repaint . Did the factory use barrel clips , nuts , push clips , etc. Allen , I'm sure you know this one.

Hi,
Through the 72 model year the script was held in place with a thick black adhesive….. no speed nuts.
The current Trim Parts reproduction has a lighter color pressure sensitive adhesive strip.
On many cars the script is now held in place with speed nuts. There's no access to the rear most pin on both sides of the car.
Regards,
Alan
Not pretty but original.
