Gluing Porsche Crest onto wheels
While washing my 996 I notice one of the crests was loose on one wheel. I was able to easily pull it off. Thankfully it didn't happen while driving because I would have lost it.

Now I am wondering how to glue it back on for good. Any advice?

Don't use Elmer's Glue.

I had used 2part epoxy in a syringe that you can find at local hardware store, make sure to clean the mating surfaces.

Also 3M adhesive from auto supply stores works awesome for emblems.

JB weld works well and is easy to work with.

If you use the 2-part stuff in a tube, be very very conservative with it. I made a serious mess on my 1/4 panel trying to attach a door emblem when I was in high school
