Default Warm weather...emblems flying away

Well finally some warm weather in Nebraska yesterday, cleaned up the car from sitting in the garage and took her for a spin. Got out a bit later to open the hatch, and the right side of the emblem was gone! I guess the sub-zero temps and opening/closing of the hatch over time loosened it. Anyone ever see this happening? And can you buy just the right side of the flag insert? What do you use to re-bond it?

I have one of the bright red flag inserts that I could send you. I would imagine you could use thin double sided tape or perhaps even some epoxy to attach it back to the emblem.

Just PM me you mailing address if you want it and be sure to include your name so I can address the envelope properly.
