ASAP How to re-attach the vinyl wrapped fiberglass to the tonneau?

Trying to get this done before the dream cruise tomorrow, so prompt advice will be appreciated!

Alright, so I'm working on a project with my vert...I removed the vinyl wrapped fiberglass trim piece that's on the tonneau, and now I'm trying to decide how to reattach it. I don't want it to fly off when I'm driving down the highway with the top down, but I don't want it to be too difficult to remove. I'm going to have to remove it eventually when I get the car painted, and it will need to be re-wrapped eventually. Also, I already weakened it quite a bit from this project.

Any advice? What I've read online said 3M 8115 is best, but I'm afraid it will be to strong.


On a side note, what would be best to get the vinyl to adhere to the fiberglass? 3M 8090 was recommended to me...
