Badge Tape

Stock4Evr · 11-26-2014, 03:46 PM

I removed the 135i badge from my car. What tape do I get to put it back on?

I think most people just replace them entirely as the emblems have an adhesive backing applied from the factory. I would assume it is comparable to 3M double sided.

You can use 3M automotive double sided tape. You can find them at Target and Home Depot. Hope this helps!

I've tried reattaching BMW model numeral emblems in the past with 3m double stick and it was a PITA. You have to cut the 3m tape just perfectly so it didn't show around the edges, but leave enough so it sticks.

My 0.02.. just buy new emblems, they have the 3m tape factory cut perfectly so there's none peaking out from behind.
