Patti, The front and rear VW emblems are readily available, $20 to $28 or so for each. Bus Depot sells a Vanagon L emblem for the rear, which can be used in place of the Vanagon or Vanagon GL emblems, which are no longer available. The rear emblems, I think, use two grommets each to attach. If I were ordering, I would go ahead and order the grommets. The old plastic tends to be brittle and breaks easy. At least this is what I've found with other plastic parts; I haven't replaced my emblems yet.
