How to Stick an Emblem Back on a Car Door

If the emblem falls off your car door, it can leave behind an awkward-looking spot on your paint. Putting the emblem back on the car is the easiest way to cover this spot back up. Fortunately, it is a fairly simple process to put the factory emblem back on your car's door.

Things You'll Need

  • Adhesive cleaner
  • Automotive adhesive
  • Rubbing alcohol
  • Clean rag
  • Clean the emblem thoroughly. Use the adhesive cleaner to remove all sticky substances and debris from the back of it.

  • Wash the spot on the car where you want to apply the emblem. Use the adhesive cleaner and rubbing alcohol to remove all old glue, dirt and debris from the vehicle's paint so that your emblem will bond cleanly with the car.

  • Apply automotive adhesive to the back of the emblem.

  • Apply the emblem to the door. Hold the emblem tightly in place for several minutes until the glue firmly bonds with the paint. Allow 24 to 48 hours for the glue to cure. The emblem should then be securely reattached to the door.
