Looking for ideas on how you install these emblems on new door panels. When I replaced the woodgrain on my Challenger door inserts, I used some clear 100% silicone on the "pins" of the Fratzog emblems. Those emblems were attaching to a pot metal piece however. The Dart emblems will be attaching to cardboard.

Is there some sort of "extension" that can be added to the "pins" on the back side that would allow attachment with a thread cutting nut? If you're just gluing them on, what are you using? The glue would have to stick to vinyl. Thanks
 
Maybe a "push-on" style clip would work? The kind that hold the heater box cables to the door pivot rods? Would there be any of the "pin" sticking out past the back of the door panel for the clip to grab?

I would consider an adhesive a last resort. The interior will get pretty hot in the sun. I'd worry about an adhesive failing. Plus there's the worry about someone at a car show with sticky fingers...
