Badge replacement

When I received my ST, the ST badge on the rear hatch was crooked. In attempting to straighten, it came loose. The adhesive wouldn't hold it on any more.
I need to purchase a new badge, but the ones I'm finding online are smaller than the factory ones. Does anyone know where to find a "factory authorized" replacement?

Just peel off the tape and put new tape on. It’s a $5 fix instead of ordering a new badge.
Or just leave it off…looks better that way anyway.

You could go with a sleeper look with it debadged. But also I get the frustration of it coming off a brand new vehicle. Like Unbroken mentioned, maybe some hvy duty double sided tape will do the job.

Isn't it something the dealer should fix for you free??? I would just say it fell off if it were mine.

Yup, a little double sided tape and a razor blade.

I’m sure they would. Just might be easier to do it yourself. Well I guess it depends on how busy your dealership is. Might need to make an appointment and all.
