Hello Restorers-
I finally found replacement motif badges and surrounds, but I can't figure how to get behind the front fenders to reattach them to the car. Forum search for "Motif" described how to remove & refurbish, but I failed to find how to re-attach. I'm worried there is no access to behind the fender skin, and once removed the motif badges must be glued back in place. I know the SUNBEAM letters are attached with speed nuts and a small round/cut fender washer on the trunk. However, the trunk motif is off as well, and 2 of those 3 surround prong holes look to be a PITA to get to.
Similar access concern with the 2 rubber hood spacers for the hood that are closest to the firewall. Can't see underneath them for a nut attachment or if they screw directly into the body (and don't want to ruin the old, hard ones on removal to find I can't fit the new replacements!).
Thanks for directing me to the right thread or sharing your experiences.
