Strong adhesive needed....

I've used the 3m Super Weatherstip Adhesive # 08008 for many unintended applications with good results. A downside with the tapes in my novice opinion is the gap they create between bonded objects; then again perhaps you've located some with nominal thickness.

Yes this is thicker than regular tape but this should hold down better than your standard two sided tape which is paper thin! I wouldn't recomend glue because it will distroy the surface underneath should it ever come undone or pop up. Here's a link to what we have had luck with. Just try to get the billet to sit as flat as possible.....

Were using the tape inside our panel doors to hold the plastic panels we made. The doors have a Contour and haven't came loose yet. We don't have extreme weather changes though. Best Glue is GOOP, but.....

Well, I think I see if I can just find someone to machine this down about 50-60% of it's thickness now and go from there.
Figures this happens a week or so after I sell the CF one I had.....

NAPA has a exterior body part adhesive that comes in a tube that can be applied with a standard caulking gun. This stuff is basically Liquid Nails for body trim. Two years ago the plastic cover at the top of the tailgate of my Trailblazer snapped off due to an ice build up. The original mount holes for the screws were destroyed. I used the stuff from NAPA to reattach it. Its held up better than any other adhesive I've ever used on a car.
BTW, two sided tape will do just as much damage to paint as will any adhesive. But if you are really worried about that, a repaint of the top of the rear bumper is pretty easy to do.

The'll have to be careful as going thinner, while milling can cause it to warp, from the heat.
Just sayin..

OK, but have you thought of just setting it across your knee and giving it a little "tweak" to get rid of the springing up at the ends, it won't take much at all to just curve it slightly upward in the center.....then no more springy ends.
You do have to be careful, its something to sneak up on, bend just a tad then check....repeat as required.
