Used emblem installation
I got a used nose emblem for my 07. I've cleaned off all the old adhesive from it but I don't know what to use to install it. I found a tube of adhesive at Autozone but I'm thinking more like some sort of tape. Anyone know where I can find a thin double sided tape that will work?
Thanks

3M sells the gray double sided tape in different widths and thicknesses. Go by a body shop and more than likely they will have some and could sell you some off of their roll. The "trick" will be applying it to your emblem and trimming it out so it looks good when applied. And just remember. If the panel is warm and you go to stick it on. The tape will stick like MAD...and be "fun" to remove if you see you have a problem with "something".

For what it is worth. Due to the width of the 3M tape. It will have to be done in sections...and when I have done this in the past. I used a VERY SHARP blade and applied the tape to the emblem and trimmed it while it was on the emblem. It may take a few attempts...until you get the visual edge the way that you want.
