0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
Just soak it in tar and glue remover for 10 mins and it will peel clean off, either that or a hair drier/heat gun

Suggestion
Get some fishing leader or use a couple of strands of garden twine, something with a small diameter and take the badge off ala cheese cutter stylee, some white spirits will remove the glue or tar remover, give the area a wash off and then wax it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was recently washing my 996 C4S and because she's getting on a few years now, I hadn't noticed the S badge on the boot had lifted slightly, and before I knew it, I'd snapped the end off... I've procured a replacement through Porsche but I was just looking for advice on what adhesive I should use to apply the new badge. All help welcomed. Thanks.

Don't they have a sticky back already on them? , my 991 911 numbers did

L500 said: Yes, it does but the residue left behind on the existing badge looks like a glue? It's just double sided adhesive tape from the factory badge,over time as grime and heat take their toll it can make it look a bit like glue if it hardens. Just soak it in tar and glue remover for 10 mins and it will peel clean off, either that or a hair drier/heat gun

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all. I'll tackle it this week. Just hoping the paint doesn't come off on removal of the old badge.. Cheers.

POST 7Original post

Get some fishing leader or use a couple of strands of garden twine, something with a small diameter and take the badge off ala cheese cutter stylee, some white spirits will remove the glue or tar remover, give the area a wash off and then wax it. Peel of backing on new badge and fit. Take some measurements of the old badges position before removal so you get it on in the right place.
