Default Re-adhering Badges

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?

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.
