Default What adhesive to use?

I have the plastic raised soft "CORVETTE" letters on the rear of my car. They look great. I put them on in October and they have been on since. However, some are starting to come loose and I want to remove them, clean the area where they go, reapply some adhesive, and stick them back on. What should I use?

3M double sided adhesive tape. The same stuff used for BSM.

If you use spray adhesive, spray it on both parts and let it tack first. However, I would cut thin dbl. sided tape. Works great and if you take your time, you won't be able to see it. In any case, clean all adhesive off with 3M adhesive remover and let it dry well.
