Repairing Tabs on Silverado Badges

Anyone know how to repair the broken studs on the fender badges? I could go with 3M double sided body tape, but I'd rather use the studs to secure them if I can. Mine have 1 broken stud on each badge and I have the pieces.

Epoxy? JB Weld?

Maybe a good marine epoxy. I put one of those emblems on my tailgate band, and I cut the studs off and filled it in smooth on the back with exopy and then put double sided tape on mine. with that much tape, I don't see it coming off too easily.

Re: Repairing Tabs on Silverado Badges

ive never found anything that will work as well as the two sided tape. you cannot repair the studs to work again
