Tige emblem

[wakewilson]

Anyone else have any issues with the chrome tige emblem on the back seat falling off in extreme heat? Any good suggestions to fixing the problem. Right now we just decided to take it off and leave it off.

Well, I have certainly had my share of thie issue. The new 2009's and I think the 2008's have a screw through them to make sure this doesn't happen. However, both the 2006 and 2007 models do not. So, what I have done was use Plumping Amazing Goop (http://www.plumbingworld.com/amazinggoop_compound.html) and then used masking tape to hold the emblem there for 24 hours to dry.

Good, luck. Just wish Tige used a stronger glue that could be removed but DO NOT use SuperGlu. You will need to take that plate off to remove the vinyl when the vinyl needs to be replaced in the future.

Thanks for suggestion. Mine has been re-glued three times and has been found on the rear seat all three times on trip home.

Money: use an epoxy like Dabell said. Make sure you get the logo centered, tape it with good tape and keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't slip.

I will try it if the darn thing falls of after April when my 1st year parts & labor warrant is up.

Thanks, I wonder if liquid nails would work.

^^ Yes, it will work but it will glue it forever IMO and TriValley both suggest the Goop.

how about mighty putty?

My concerns with Mighty Putty would be when you want to remove the emblem because you have to replace the vinyl seats. It doesn't seem like it will "release" easy.

How about a dollop of RTV silicone, or automotive emblem adhesive tape?

As long as you can remove the emblem, you will be okay to use it. Behind the emblem, there are screws that hold the plate in place. You will need access to those screws when you want to redo your seats.

I had this happed to both of my logo's/badges. The front and the rear. I tried reattaching with the existing foam tape on the back. I finally got tired of them falling off, so I took off the foam sticky backing cleaned the badge & the plate then applied several rows of double sided tape and reattached the badge. This past summer, no issues, stayed on all summer. I even tested them on warm days, tugging on them trying to pull them off, and they wouldn't pull off. So I suggest to use good 3M double sided tape.

Why don't you just drill two holes in the plate and use some stainless screws?
