I also used clear silicone caulk to install my 300G grille emblem over 30 years ago and it is still doing just fine. Bruce Paul Cherry Hill, NJ |

Hi Steve,
A few years ago I was freshing up my grill and putting on a new 300 medallion from the club. I was looking for an adhesive and found " 3M Plastic Emblem Adhesive " and bought a tube thinking that it should be the perfect adhesive as I did have a plastic emblem and that's what it's for.
Whatever you do DO NOT buy and use " 3M Plastic Emblem Adhesive".
Here is what happen:
I used the adhesive according to the directions and adhered the emblem to the grill. I went about doing a few other things and a few minutes later I looked at the grill. The adhesive was eating away, melting, the plastic emblem from the backside.
I removed the emblem but the damage was already done.
I ordered another emblem from the club and this time I used clear silicone caulk. It worked perfectly and it's probably been on the car for about 8 years.
One other thing I did was make a metal plate with studs attached so that my emblem is easily removable. If my grill got damaged and I had to replace it I could easily unbolt the emblem and put it on the replacement grille. The plate works very well and looking at the car you can't tell I did that.
Good luck in whatever adhesive you do use but the clear silicone worked great for me.

I saved it and my computer ate it. I want to mount the front 300F medallion. Any thoughts would be appreciated and Happy New Year. Steve Beard 300F in Delaware, Ohio |
