Default C5 Front Emblem Re-Attach Tape?

Front Emblem on 02 is popping up - tape wore out
Does anyone sell just the right tape without having to buy the whole emblem?
Thanks

Some 3M double sided tape should be all you need.

I bought a roll at Pep Boys. It comes in various thicknesses and widths. Trimming it was a little time consuming.

Be SURE and buy the gray stuff that has the red backing. It is designed specifically to be UV resistant and for outdoor use.

Just a thought for you, 3m 77 spray on adhesive...

Super easy to spray on the back of things. Very strong long lasting stuff.

3M grey stuff with the red backing and an Xacto knife. Comes in rolls and if you can find it 4x4" sheets. Great stuff.

I've been using it for years. Works great.

I did my front emblem this year. It took some time trimming, but it came out great. The corners of the emblem were coming up away from the car, and now it is firmly held down again.
