How do you install the rear Volkswagen badge on a 1992 Volkswagen Corrado SLC VR6?

How do you install the rear Volkswagen badge on a 1992 Volkswagen Corrado SLC VR6?


I've looked all over the internet and my Corrado Bentley and couldn't find anything on it. please help me out. Thanks.|||There are 3 ways to do it.



1. Factory there are little fingers that should stick out of the back of the emblem, this corresponds to the holes in the deck, the holes in the deck should have a little plastic insert, so that when you push the emblem in to it, they grasp and hold it in place. You can get those little plastic inserts from eBay or the dealer.



2. If the fingers of the emblem are broken off you can use 3m weather strip double sided tape (red color)

that you can buy at most automotive stores in the molding/body work section. Clean the back of the emblem to be free of dirt. Clean the body of the car.

Cut a strip of tape to fit the back of the emblem, apply and press.. then remove the red plastic position it, and stick it to the car.



3. You can use clear silicone RTV to glue it to the deck, clean the back of the emblem, and the area to be attached to. Lay a bead of RTV to the back of the emblem, and spread it evenly on all about the back, Apply to the car and press it so that the silicone will ooze out. Wipe the excess, and affix the emblem with tape for 24 hours while the RTV dries, Over night works just as well.



RTV will hold that sucker good, so that when the person on the cell phone smacks in to your car, your badge will bend but not break.



Rear badges that I "siliconed" to the car, held up rather well on impact.
