I'd say to either get the really nice and thin 3M double sided tape, or to try a glue of some sort. I actually ran into a similar situation with my dash kit today, my vent pieces wouldn't stick using the included double sided tape, so I went and bought some "medium strength" Elmer's multi-purpose glue. Worked wonders, and I can still remove later on if I really need to. Just use a very small amount, hold it in place (or use masking tape to hold), and then maybe hit it with a hair dryer to speed things up. Good luck

Get some 3M Emblem Glue. Comes in black tube. Its a bit of a pain though. You'll get stringy glue hanging off the sides if you're not careful. You gotta work fast too. The top layer dries in about a minute so you'll have to use more to get it to stick well.

ya once you apply the emblems use a heat gun or something to warm up the emblems and apply pressure so that they stick a little bit better.

You can buy emblem glue any where that sells auto painting suplies. Also the more you use the longer it take to dry and less glue is stronger.

you can buy the 3m heavy duty double-sided sticky tape @ most craft sotres, wal-mart, automotive stores, just about anywhere. if you get the heavy duty, it will come in a roll of 10 to 12 feet, and have a red backing on it. gonna run you anywhere from $1.50 to $5.00, depending on where you buy it. but, it is the same stuff they use at most dealerships, that's when they put most of the emblems on.
