Question How to re-attach the bumper protector

Just got a (second) 2012 RX350. The Lexus (not aftermarket) bumper protector was in the rear cargo area. It definitely had been attached at one time as the adhesive was dry.

?how does one re-attach it? Is there a special adhesive? Haven't taken it to a dealer to ask yet. Wanted to ask here first.

Thanks

Easiest, lowest cost (5-6$), and very durable fix is either 3M double-sided tape or Lepage No More Nails double-sided tape. I've used the latter on many home and car projects including sticking trim and emblems on my cars. You can find the latter most easily at all major stores: Home Hardware, Lowes, etc. Before you apply the tape, remove any old tape/glue with Goo Gone and clean both contact surfaces with 70% rubbing alcohol.

Good luck.
