Default Rear Honda emblem loose

The trunk emblem on my S2000 is a little loose. I looked into the trunk lid and could see the legs coming through, but they didn't seem to attach to anything. Is there an easy way I can tighten it down?

those are just pressure fitted. the legs push into plastic inserts in the decklid. If you try and take it off more than likely it will snap it in half, if you were able to get it off in one piece cars are now using the 3m dbl sided tape along with the inserts. You could drop super clue onto the tabs from the inside and that will hold itself on just fine.

There are little pressure snaps that hold the emblem in place. You can remove them w/o damage. I would be careful adding glue from the outside as it may drip out (and collect dirt) or fail. I use superglue (thick, normal, and thin) all the time but in an automotive environment, it will fail sooner or later.

I recommend you buy another new emblem and install that. It should have fresh 3M automotive adhesive already on it. You could also change it up and put an "S" there instead. Get the same S that goes on the fenders so its looks right.
