Default adhesive advice

I am driving a 2009 F 150, the Ford button/logo on the tailgate is loose. What should I use for adhesive to re-attach?

3M double-sided tape should do the trick. Remove emblem. Remove old tape and residue. Apply new tape and reinstall.

Nah. 3M alone will be fine. Clean all surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol prior to applying the tape.

The button, as I describe it, is the Ford logo thing on the tailgate. Don't know what else to call it. Thanks for the help. 3 m it is

3M makes many different double sided tapes, be sure you get the right one. 3M double sided automotive tape for side moldings and badges.
