Unhappy Chevy emblem falling off

I have had my Camaro for a month and a half now. Whenever I open the trunk and to close, I almost always grab the chevy bowtie. Now, the right tip of the emblem adhesive is starting to come off. Is there a way to fix this or is a complete replacement the best option? If so, how much would it cost for an OEM one or an aftermarket blacked out one (matches my black camaro )?

I am also considering just leaving the bowtie off if it does come off. Are there any holes behind the metal holding that emblem in place?

Replacements aren't that expensive, but if you remove it, it will be smooth with no holes to fill.

Ryan, as Road Rage already stated.....there are no holes behind yours. but if it does get lose enough that you want to repair it, don't go out and buy a new one, just take all the original double sided tape off of it and replace it with new. You can buy a small roll of it at most Auto Parts stores and its only a few bucks. and its a 3M product, its called MOLDING TAPE its made for what you are wanting/needing to do.

It should also be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty. But road rage and Sir Nuke both nailed it.

My bowtie was falling off and the dealer replaced mine under warranty I didn't even know it was falling off they actually noticed it

Mine is starting to lift on the left side, i just press it back on and it is good for a few more weeks. I would let it just fall off or take it off but I will have locating holes behind mine, Grrrrrr!
