I got my fave gasket sealant and used that, Loctite 5900 or 5910, seriously sticks well, it is actually a flange sealant, used on production lines(5910) with 5 min cure time, evenhave shelves in the garage held up with it and use it on all threads etc to seal.
Pricey but for a reason.

Or use proper glue remover from a paint specialist - makes it easy peezy.
Glue goes soft then can be reused when it hardens sometimes... though I would use new trim tape. If it stays on the car side it just rolls off... only I would recomend gloves - not what Liam did!

For sticking stuff back on i just brought some automotive double sided foam stuff, i used a brand new wood chisel to get the remains of the old stuff off
worked ok for me
I would only ever use 3m acrylic tape for the trims its awesome stuff
as for removing it I used welding wire and a toffie wheel to remove all the bits tape from the car and trims

I find the double sided tape is too thick, they stand out proud. Mine were stuck on with this but don't look right, and are now stuck on with superglue, no-nails, impact adhesive, and anything else I find as more bits come off!
