Default Loose trunk letters

Hi guys!

​​​​noticed today a couple of letters from the CROSSFIRE are loose on my trunk. Figured I'd reattach or reinforce all of them....but how?
ahats the best and easiest way to go about this?

Thanks for your input.

Nick

Remove with dental floss or fishing line, clean real good with goof-off and 70-90 % iso alcohol, then reattach with :

Thanks for the tips! So just run the firing line behind it to to get them off? How do I get the double sided tape to stick to the shape of those letters? Since they are very thin I'd imagine it would be difficult to cut the tape so it won't show?

Stick the tape to the letter. Then trim the tape with a razor blade, after trimmed apply to car.
There is also a glue made for attachment of auto emblems. Tape wont mess with the paint; glue is much easier. Your car; Your choice.

I used 3M emblem glue...very sparingly.

That tape is a bit too narrow, it would be easier if wider tape was used.

I would not use glue, tape is very good, just use the 3M Auto tape made for the job not the cheaper everyday tape.

It is wise to check each letter every now and again to look for loose letters, finding a loose letter is better than having find a replacement.
