Water got under the F150 badge on my 95s front passenger’s quarter panel, then froze and popped it off. Is that just double sided tape holding it on or did the PO put that on? Anyway what is the best way to reattach? Thank you.

One of mine fell off once.. From the factory they are attached with this tar-like glue. To reattach mine I just used some Gorilla Glue.
