Yep, almost exact same experience as OP, but I didn't get hit to have it happen. My son took pity and surprised me with a full set for Father's Day about 3 years ago. Although the crests were a bit bigger, the quality was pretty good. Told me he spent $25 on eBay. After 3 years the gold has faded on a couple to silver, but they don't look bad.

A long, long time ago, I posted a solution for CFOS (crest falling off syndrome) -- difficult to find because it was 12 years ago, but the thread is still there (solution starts on post #30) -> https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-question.html

Another good trick with the crests to prevent them from fading or chipping is to spray them with Krylon Crystal Clear ( ) acrylic. It's used for artwork and goes on super-thin so it doesn't look painted at all. You can't really tell that it's been coated. I did it for only the crests, not the silver surround -- so they can be coated when the crest is off (if you are gluing them on) or you can tape off the silver part. A few days after it dries, I put 303 over the crest to help block UV.
