Default reattaching ws6 emblem

so I was washing my car today and the sponge caught the edge of the ws6 emblem on the back of my car and pulled it right off. Obviously the adhesive backing was losing its "stick" anyway. So how do I stick it back on or where do I get another one of those adhesive backings that are cutout to match the shape of the emblem? thanks

haha, yeah, I could use some of that tape.........oh well, at least the thing fell off while I was washing it, and not while I was driving. Will that 3M stuff be strong enough to keep it on there? Oh and I've never heard of wally world or autoplace, will autozone or discount auto parts have it? thanks.

Better yet head to a auto paint supply store, for the real good stuff that is designed for emblems, holds much better than the generic stuff. Emblem is to pricey to replace, not worth the chance IMO.

oh yeah, one last question, the adhesive actually came off of the emblem but is still stuck on my car. Any easy way to get that adhesive off the car? thanks
