Fender emblem

Short of pulling the fender...any advice out there on getting behind the front fender to secure emblems with speed nuts?

And I’d rather not use glue

Re: Fender emblem

I used double-sided trim tape. The previous owner had filled the holes. I taped the entire backside of the emblem. I know it’s hard to get to the speed nuts. I have tried to get emblems off, in the salvage yards before.

Re: Fender emblem

Thank you for the advice fellas! The barrel clips (with a dab of 3M weatherstrip goop) was the way to go!!

Re: Fender emblem

My body shop friends were able to get me some of these to attach mine. I had to open the holes slightly but they work great.
