As Purdie says.. This badge is glued at the factory..but it is easy to accidently catch a corner and lift it.. even with a polishing cloth..

Looks like this badge caught the business end of a pair of needle-nose pliers.

Tough wrinkles.

FWIW to ya, I've had lot of good luck with this:

Get a rat-tail file, poke it into the grommet from outside the shell, and carefully file away the grommet's lip inside the shell. (Watch your angle so you don't chew up the outside.) No need to be violent at all, just give it a little time and make sure you don't file one place for too long.

Once the inner lip's gone, you should be able to get a dull butterknife between the bottom of the grommet and the shell. Just slowly and gently lever the grommet upward out of the hole. (Sometimes you can just grab it and pull it out.)

Turn the badge over, get a Q-Tip, and put a few tiny drops of acetone on the adhesive. Nail polish remover's good in a pinch.

I've always used a vise and gunsmith's aluminum vice jaws to flatten out badges. Choose your own favorite procedure.

Next, put a very slight convex bend in the badge.

Then on the bottom, put a tiny dab of SuperGlue !GEL! to the right and left of the badge's centerhole, halfway between the edge and the hole.

Last, put another couple of dabs in the shell's venthole, put the grommet through the badge, then put the whole thing in the venthole. Hold it down for about 20 seconds and she's done.

One thing I like about this method is that keeps the original grommet.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
