For something removable like your Jeep trim piece, I might try some HD velcro but use one of the 3m VHB(very high bond) tapes to hold the velcro to the plastic.


My Eastwood hood liner would NOT stay stuck to the underside of the bonnet due to the bedliner texture.
3M VHB tape has held it up no problem...

Holy adhesive costs Batman !
Always love learning about new wonder products.
The description "replaces rivets, welds, etc" truly reads like a wonder product
but $272 for three rolls ?

Last summer, I was having a hell of a time with my heat shield/ sound deadener.
It's the Eastwood stuff, it's adhesive backed, but it just would not stay stuck because the inside of my bonnet is bedlined.
So I used the 3M VHB tape around the perimeter.
Done.
Never fell down again with hot or cold temps.

Update.

A week of pulling off/on once a day. Currently glued magnets back on with 5200. True test won't be until it's cold, but for now holding well.

Have some industrial Velcro on standby if it comes to it. Thanks for all the suggestions.
