Default Emblem Delaminating

15' Tank emblem pulled away from base. Caught the corner on my drying towel, emblem peeled off of base, recommendations on how to reattach emblem to the rubber piece on the tank?

Wal Mart Automotive section, trim adhesive
Caution, very "runny", apply adhesive to a Qtip, then rub the Qtip on the back of the emblem.
Or carefully apply to the back of the emblem from the tube. Spread w/ Qtip.

Get it replaced under warranty. Wouldn't bother trying to DIY it.

Get the dealer to do it. They will help you keep it looking new. It is also good PR for them.

It is out of warranty. Guess it would not hurt to ask.

Agree on trim adhesive,3M makes a spray on, could also use 100% silicone caulk.

I haven't done it with a tank emblem, but I have used double-sided tape on many other emblems. Remove yours, clean off all the other yuk from both tank and emblem, then make a fresh start with new tape.

That stinks.

I would hope HD would step up and cover that. That reflects direct on the brand.

Good luck

A 2015 out of warranty? Thought it was a 2 year warranty.

What I would do is go to Home Depot and get some of the 3M "Extreme Mounting" tape. It's what they use on GoPro mounts, it don't come undone!!!
