I think that may be your best bet - I've done the same. if the emblem has the mounting studs, I would think the only option would be to drill and press in some appropriate barrel clips (I think the are called) that would grip the emblem studs.

I tried using the little clippy insert things intended to go in the hole but they did not work well. I finally resorted to good double sided tape and it's held for years.

Re: Attaching Glovebox Emblem?

I have not done this with a glove box door, but the concept is the same for any two layered panel...If the emblem uses the stamped steel nuts (speed nuts), you can drill the small holes for the emblem studs all the way through the 2 panels that make up the door and then open the inner panel holes up large enough for the speed nut to clear and spin onto the emblem stud. It is alot of work and placement may be limited, but it will be better than the barrel nuts...sometimes those work and sometime they don't. I avoid them wherever I can. If you decide to do this, I highly recommend using a deburring bit to open the inner holes up as a larger drill bit can bite the inner layer of steel and punch through the outer in a split second and then you have a mess. Don't ask me how I know!

With the good 3M tape, you would have a hard time prying it off.. I'd go that route..
