Any kind of clear 2 part epoxy, just make sure you clean it well and use a small amount so it does not squish out.

Easy peasy

I would just use some two part epoxy glue and spread a bit on the back side of the insert that came loose, then just stick it on the emblem. It should hold for a long, long time. Just be careful to not put too much glue on the insert that when you press it down it squeezes out over the insert.

Edit - looks like others beat me to the suggestion - that's what I get for watching a TV show while typing an answer. Anyway, you get the point.

This stuff is made just for what you need. I've used it many times and never once has it failed.

Whatever you use, make sure you clean all that dirt out or you will not get a good bond and it will not lay flat.

Hey C5 community -- help me out -- I took the garage queen out for a ride this morning and thought a rock hit my windshield but evidently it was my checkered flag insert leaving my front emblem like seefivedave's picture shows.
