It came off and apparently it is glued on. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if so what type of polymer /glue did they use to put it back on? I hate to use super glue because eventually it will fall off again.  PXL_20230202_212407526.MP by gungyduo, on Flickr |

I've had a "glass" display on a Sony cd player from the 80's come loose that was glued on. If I recall, I used some sort of quick drying glue...I would either call or text Emotiva and ask what they use. |

Good Idea they mentioned superglue but that stuff is not that great in my experience also wondering if I should take off the old glue

Otherwise it will "bump" up the logo. Take your time scraping it off. If you use a superglue, check reviews first. I've used a Gorilla glue superglue that seems to work well. Home Depot or Lowes. I would would want something that sets quickly but gives you enough time to manuever in case you don't position it right. www.amazon.com/dp/B00OAAUAX8?tag=tool-deals-us-20 |

When I built my HTPC the Origen AE case that I used had two sided foam tape to attach the metal plate to the the tray. It worked well and has never come off  |

PXL_20230202_212407526.MP by gungyduo, on Flickr I’ve tried many “Super Glues” and some end up as you say however THIS one is the ticket with a clean surface (will do the job and stay)  |
