Default Dash Lettering problem

The lettering on my dash air bag (the tte) has drooped and is not sticking. I believe these were peel and place (the domed ones). Can I apply some kind of adhesive or just buy new ones? Anybody come across this? Thanks

Why not spray paint them?

The letters that fill in the CORVETTE indent on the dash most often used 3M adhesive tape to install. The challenge is that the tape can lose its stickiness based upon protectants and other items used on dash. You can certainly purchase this tape and reinstall. (the challenge is actually trimming it to match the letters). In the past I found the time needed was more than purchasing a replacement set.

For best and longest adherence of the letters, clean the area well and allow to full dry. I find APC works best first to clean. The wipe the letter inserts with an alcohol prep pad.
