Hi, i recently de-badged my xB and put on bB badges... and i lined up the rear badge vertically with the bottom which looks good to me. But being a perfectionist i'm not happy with the horizontal placement, it's to close to the edge of the hatch.
Anyways, so i was wondering if the adhesive would remain sticky enough to stay on there strong... if anyone has had experience with moving badges around?! Any tricks, tips? :shock:
Just trying to avoid paying $20 for a new bB badge...

home depot will only have the general purpose 3m tape, which is problematic with hot and cold temps.
check out your local automotive shops

yeah, thats a tough one cause you DO NOT want to harm the paint... I would agree on the 3m but it may not hold up well in winter temps...

yeah harming the paint gives me a weak stomach, i'll stop by a guy's shop that has done good work for us and see if he'll hook me up.
thanks for the advice.
