    On the cowl V6 badges after the little prongs are missing what is the best way to attach to a freshly painted Jeep. Is there a way to put new prongs on, or do you just glue them on. If gluing is the option what glue do you use.
    Thanks!

    I think 3M makes an exterior rated tape that is very sticky on both sides. If you are going to glue it, use something "liquid nails" it comes in a toothpaste tube, or exterior construction adhesive. But it generally comes in a caulking gun type tube 12 oz or so.
    The metal is just a zinc "pot metal" type alloy. Hard to glue a prong on I would think.
    Later V6 badges didnt come with the prongs. It was a peel and stick type arrangement. Hope this helps.

    3M double sided trim tape 'think the smallest you can get is 25' roll but you'll use it for other stuff.
