Still can't get it on. I actually did this year's ago when I first got the car but I can't seem.to get it now..
I think whatever rubber/plastic that gasket is made from may experience some kind of permanent shrinkage as it ages that can't be fixed by soaking in hot water. I had a similar experience a few years ago. One of the studs on the back of the emblem broke off as I was removing it to fix the gasket. I ended up buying a new gasket and emblem, and the hot water trick worked perfectly on the new gasket. Good luck!
