go out to home depot and get some type of silicone glue or something equivalent. Once it dries, it should be good. Just try not to be sloppy with it

Walmart, radioshack, pep boy's, autozone.. and many similar places has it too. Silicone is fun.

Shouldn't be more then a couple bucks for a tube

On the topic of tape (not epoxy, glue, etc.), there is no alternative. If the 3M doesn't work, nothing will.

3M FTW!

Hmm.. i used 3m and it worked fine. never had any trouble with it. maybe you had dust on the area you were using it on?

there was a ridiculous amount of pollen and really hot yesterday. i made sure the wipe everything up before i used the tape. it might have been the heat melting it.
