Default NEED GOOD ADHESIVE ASAP

alright so my honeycomb rear blackout panel from AM is starting to un adhere to the paint on one side. My question is who knows of a good adhesive i can use to readhere it to the trunk lid of my car without the horendous after effects it could cause to my paint. Any help would be appreciated due to the fact that i have no idea how much longer it will last. thanks a lot

go to autozone or somewhere like that and pick up a roll of 3m body molding tape. its a grey foamy tape with a red backing. I used that stuff on my emblems and rear bumper inserts and it works great. you can also get rid of the residue with some goo gone.

Once you get the old adhesive cleaned off, make sure you use a 3M adhesive promoter on both surfaces as it really helps the tape stick.

Glad to know this was resolved.
Intially I bought some 3M Heavy duty bonding/molding tape for light covers, began noticing that they were starting to rattle and come off after a few car washes, etc.
I ended up using Velcro Brand "Industrial Strength (Outdoor)" double-sided Velcro for any add-ons that I tacked on; was very strong and worked like a charm.
