Stingray Emblem Installation
I am replacing the stingray emblem which recently fell off on the highway. The replacement has 4 unthreaded pins and adhesive tape. Is this good enough or am I going to lose the new one eventually? Has anyone done anthing better? Please share with me what you did.

What year is your car. On my 71 the pins stick through the quarter panel and then have what is called pal nuts on the pins. The pal nuts are self threading and actually cut the threads on the pins as you screw them on. I could access all the pins by removing my gills. My emblems did not have any tape on them at all.

My original emblems (cross flags) had both nuts and a tape backing. The GM NOS replacements I bought also had both the nuts and tape.
If at all possible you should use both, just to be sure.
