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.

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. Where can I get another checkered flag insert? If anyone here has any info where I can get a replacement???? Thanks guys!!
