Theres aTSB out for that fix but it would cost a few more $$ than a dab of glue

If you're talking about the emblems on the front speaker covers, you have a couple choices. When I replaced my speakers, I took them completely off. I like the non-advertised look. The emblem has two metal pieces sticking out on each end that are folded back behind the speaker cover. That's all that's holding them on. Maybe somehow they came lose. So, I'd take the door panel off and tighten it or completely remove it.
