Is there any way to install my fender badges without pulling the fenders? 77 Scottsdale

I used double sided padded gorilla tape double layered.

In sure that's a clear double sided tape.

Barrel nuts are what you need. You could probably get them at Fastenal or an auto body/paint supply store.

If you want to bolt them on, no. tape is the only way

I always thought you could if you pulled the inner fender out... Could you that way?

Just like prong said barrel nuts are the easy way to go. GM used them on certain cars and emblems, I dont know why they didnt use them on all emblems. Here is a Nova emblem I found with barrel nuts, just push them into the holes simple

I just used a few dabs of clear silicone, put a pice of tape to keep them lined up until dry. They seem to be stuck on pretty well, I think I put them on almost 4 years ago.

It is impossible to get to the back nut because of the firewall/cab protrusion. Even with the fender well out.
