If the old ones are still stuck down in the holes...you may want to still get new ones because reusing the old ones is kinda like reusing a condom...they will be stretched and not perform their job as well as the first time.

And just like a condom...you may need to lubricate them to get them on the small nibs of the emblem...as well as into the holes in your tailgate or hood.
