I open my trunk today and hear a horrible...clunk...thunk...
The hood Crest just fell sort of...off! right down the hood.
Never seen that happen before, the pins on the back just broke off.
Too bad, it was in perfect shape.
Steeeenkin badges!

This happens occasionally. The best solution is JB Weld. Weld back on the tabs and let it cure for at least two days. Then reinstall--DO NOT overtorque the nuts. (It can also warp the badge).

Had to buff out some scratches from the slide but no harm done.
