Default So, my WS6 fell off...

Yeeup, I was washing my car and when I went to wash the back of it, the little WS6 thingy on the back just came off. There was a glue left on it that kind of felt like Now and Later candy. I'm not sure what kind of glue it is. I was really hoping it would be epoxy just to give me an excuse to FINALLY be able to walk into an auto shop and say "I'll take a tube of epoxy" and sound like I actually know something about repairs and such but my friend assures me it's not epoxy. I can still dream right...

WHOOPS!!!! I... I mean...

This leads to my question. Could anyone here tell me the name of the glue they use to stick the WS6 sign on the back of the Trans AM... dood?

Sorry, but if your WS6 emblem came off...then you no longer have a WS6.

J/K...what Ive done in the past with other emblems is buy the dual-sided sticky foam tape...and cut it to fit the emblem with a razor blade.

Worked for me.

Just as these guys said. 3M dual-sided tape and you're set.

Aren't you glad I made you join LS1tech, buddy?! He's also having headlight motor trouble and a window regulator running amok. I know you guys will have his problems fixed before long.


I think this is probably my third post total on this site since I joined. I come from Corvetteforum territory.

yes after removing and installing many emblems and Body side moldings 3M double sided tape is the best to get

Atleast you still have the emblem. Mine "disappeared" the day I bought mine. Those little suckers are right at $100 new. That 3M double-sided tape works wonders as well.

3M also makes emblem adhesive in a tube which works well, IIRC it's a clear silicone.
