Door emblems with side trim

[Turbo86GN]

I installed new GM door trim on my '97 K2500 and noticed the emblem tabs are a lot smaller than the trim hole. Is there a clip that goes in the holes? I was thinking of just gluing the tabs + using two-sided tape.

Yep, if I recall, there's a metal barrel that fits in there that helps retain the emblem. I could be wrong though as memory is fuzzy.

Some 3M VHB (the gray foam tape with the red peel-away) applied to clean surfaces should hold the emblems with zero issue. Use some prep spray to clean up so there's no oils or anything that would affect the adhesion.

Yep, thanks, have some of that tape. BTW, I studied and liked your write up on the L29 injector swap on some other site. My 454 now runs great!

There is a metal barrel piece that stays in the rubber trim and has a press fit with the plastic emblem to hold it in place

Thanks! S*&t, I threw 2 old trims out with the clips.....new trim didn't come with them. I can not find a p/n or a source. .......off to the boneyard.

Update: I found some clips at a yard. They are installed from behind the trim and most wrecking yard ones were rusted. Kind of too late now because I attached the trim.

I did find part numbers: GM - 15607139 (disc.); Auveco - 18105 (disc.); Car-pak - 93-7147 (disc.).
