C pillar Rover Badge

Seany75 · 10th March 2014, 07:13

My Rover badge on the n/s c pillar has come off just wondering what the best way to reattach it would be?

Thanks for any advice

Double sided tape, the type used for number plates but get a good one, I fitted badges to my C pillars 2 years ago and they're still stuck well.

A word of warning when you purchase the double sided adhesive tape. Sean.
Don't use carpet tape which is a rubber based adhesive and will come off again. Use a pure acrylic adhesive on a 0.8 mm foam carrier. This adhesive is resistant to weathering and temperature.

Thanks Peter never got the chance to get any yesterday so will hopefully pick some up today, I think the acrylic type is what I had on the number plates on my mondeo which seemed to hold well.
