Do not glue them. Use the right lengh of screws. Good luck!

Use liquid nails or f-26. You put it on the numbers like caulk, then stick them in place. It dries real fast and the numbers will never fall off. Just don’t put it on there too thick or it will squeeze out the side and show.`

I hear ya about not wanting to nail through the siding. I used epoxy, I even used epoxy to glue numbers to a big boulder at the end of my driveway and that worked too!

Screws will work, use longer (1 1/2″) to hit the sheathing underneath. Back them off a bit if they pull in the siding. If these are the thinner painted letters, pop rivets will work well.

Use tiny screws, you are correct thinking that the nails won’t work. You might have to drill the holes in your numbers a bit larger. Adhesives can fail after time.

the same way you would attach them to wood ….with screws.Make sure you get solid brass numbers so they wont rust and you wont have a bunch of screw holes showing every time you replace the numbers

I would suggest clear silicone. You can get it where you get caulk. You will need to use a piece of tape to hold the numbers until they are dry (about 4-6 hours), but that should hold them quite sufficiently.
