Default Best place to buy replacement badges/emblems or can I re-glue my old ones?

I'm thinking about MAYBE selling my car, and as such rebadged it for prospective buyers but after 2 years of storage my emblems lack the sticking power they originally did. The "4" has fallen off, and "T" is about too. Is there a way to get them to be "sticky" again?

Where is the best, and preferably reasonably priced (my parts depot at the dealership is "out") place to get replacement badges? Is this something I can order online? Thanks for any advice!!!

Default What do you mean your parts dept is "out"??

Parts dept at the dealers ususally dont stock that stuff anyway. All they have to do is order one for you with thier daily stock orders.

Default they dont carry it period.... I've asked. Audi uses some really thin stuff... probably illegal here

and only available in germany because the foam in it causes ozone holes or something like that over a rainforest in brazil or some **** liek that.

Told me "We are out odf those,don't have any left (with out checking in a computer, just off the top of his head)" I asked can you order some? He said, "Not sure, come back on Monday when the rest of the crew is here" I think I'd rather purchase from somene who A) knows what they are doing, B) cars more about me as a customer than the basebal game on the radio in the back. I mean how hard would it have been to take my name and number and have somebody call me back who knows the answer?

Ment the VBH part. I'll look for it thanks. Not a tape expert, my idea of tape is the kind on the plastic roll that Walgreens sells.

Default go to target.... it should be in their office / home improvement section on the inside section of

the store right by the plants and crap.... depends on the floor plan of the store. The older stores have it across from their fake plants by electronics.

Later Targets with silver signs have it someplace else in the store, probably across from the Health &amp; beauty crap . Either way its always on the inside area of the store closer to the electronics section.

Target sells it

Default If you want new badges...

Im sure everyone would, go to another dealer, even a VW dealership. Theyre cheap and youll be happy with new, clean badges.
