re: gluing badges

>>I'm leaning towards simply gluing the badge and gaskets on with
silicone

A cautionary tale. The GTV I just traded away had the C-pillar badges
(round w/ green serpent) glued on. Some ding-dong glued them in such a way
that they became a nice little water trap. When I removed the logo I found
a nice rusty spot nearly the size of the badge and a hole right in the
center. Be careful how you glue badges on the car! I would suggest that the
glue be done in a complete circle or if there is a low spot that there be
an opening at the bottom in case water did get trapped inside.

My 2 cents worth.
