Looking for matching replacement Airstream end cap logos
Below is a picture of a picture of our front cap logo, in place. The material is a hard rubber with a blue metallic finish. This same logo is also on the rear end cap. Not even sure if they're original. Anyway I'm removing them to polish.
If prefer to find new ones, but if I can't I may try to refuse them. What's the best way to glue them back on?
Regards,
Pete

Looks like I failed to load the picture properly. Hopefully this time is the charm.

I have used vhb tape to reattach.
It's tedious to trim off excess tape but yields excellent results.
BTW, still available at the factory store..... Expensive

UPDATE:
Yesterday, I checked the Jackson Center store online, but I did not find the Airstream trailer insignia of any type. Found all kinds of trinkets and various parts and accessories, but not the actual Airstream logos that are placed on the trailers. I did not find the Airstream site to be a very good website. I guess I'll have too call them.
Meanwhile, I'm open too alternative places to look.
Regards,
Pete

Pete, you can call some of the dealers within a couple of states, and see if they have these in stock.

I'm absolutely certain they have them. They have a huge display of badges, stripes and other.
They're in a big board up high on the wall. They have stuff you don't even know you want to have.

Good to know. I guess I'll need to call them. Or as overlander63 suggested, I can call some dealers. Out of Doors Mart has a pretty good parts department. I wanted to see a picture to confirm it's the same. Maybe some one at those places can direct me to a link.
If they're available then they must be coming from Airstream anyway.
Regards,
Pete

The problem is descriptions are sometimes lacking which caused the need for me to call them with my questions. The young woman who answered the phone each time I called was unable to answer parts related questions. It took 4 or 5 days to get the parts guy to call me back. By then I'd lost confidence in them and had gone to other sources. Good to know they have it or access to it. I did not have a chance to call AS today, but either I or my wife will call the Jackson store, hopefully tomorrow.
Thank you for the link.
Regards,
Pete

Three days ago we finally got around to calling Airstream in Jackson Center. I was able to get their part number for our logo (decal, as they call them). Then, drove over to the Camping World near us here in Spotsylvania County (they sell Airstreams) and ordered two (2) decals at the Airstream Parts desk. Cause that's how ya gotta do it. The parts folk at Camping World will call us when they come in.
So, they do have them at Jackson Center, but you have to go through the parts dept., no they are not shown in the online store and no they don't sell them direct. All that said, the customer service lady I spoke with was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
I suspect they have many things not listed or shown in their online store.
Regards,
Pete
