Also it would be petty easy to test... old emblem glued to a piece of bare aluminum... placed in the oven at your temp of choice (300°?) And see what it does, but I would recommend doing it when the wife/girlfriend/SO isn't home

That question is one of the things I was wondering about... but does the under hood get that much hotter than a black car baking in the summer sun?

I (accidentally) bought a tube of GM CLEAR Emblem glue/adhesive 8 years ago (forgot the exact name). I removed the original adhesive backing from the emblems..............applied the glue to the back of the emblems/cleaned the excess glue off with Q-tips and a little acetone.......7 years later the glue is still completely clear-------I couldn't pop them off with a pocket knife.
Clear silicone sealer used sparing also works well.
