In addition to what Kristian said, I would be a little concerned that the glue might cloud the crystal. Are they really made of crystal, or a clear plastic? Also, can the background be seen through the crystal? If so, you’ll be looking at the glue. You might want to look into a clear epoxy.
Sorry, I don’t have a ’81-83 (but I did see one on the road last weekend on Rt. 82 here in PA), so I don’t know the specifics on the crystal. Just wouldn’t want to see you ruin one and affix it to your car at the same time.

I am restoring a 1982 Imperial. I have three 1981-1983 Imperials - one project car and two parts cars. None of the three cars have the crystal pentastar on the exterior opera lights on the "B" pillar. A friend who has two 1981-1983 Imperials says they were glued on and have all fallen off - and new parts are not available.
What I am thinking about doing is glueing the crystal pentastar from the steering wheel horn pad to the opera lights. I think it will fit and I have two of those pentastars. The question is what glue should I use? I am thinking about "gorilla" glue because I am impressed by their advertising claims.
Any thoughts on my proposal?
