6’ LED Light strip Came Off on Front

Light strip above Cougar name came mostly off on road yesterday. Still attached on driver’s side and laying on roof. Still works. Looking for ideas on how to reattach. I was thinking cleaning area with mineral spirits and using silicone adhesive. Gorilla glue perhaps? All ideas appreciated!

Part of me just wants to cut it off and terminate the wires somehow. The lights aren’t all that important to me. My wife may have another opinion though.

We use spray adhesive. Mask off the cap, use tape on the led side to hold the strip. Spray both surfaces, let dry and press. It works real good. I use a good cleaner on the trailer and nothing in the led strip.

Although it's not a car, it is an automotive finish and it is a piece of trim...

I use 3M trim adhesive and so far have never had to reattach a light two times...

Double sided tape.

Only issue with double sided tape is the thickness and the exposure of the edges.

I wouldn't stick it on too well so in a month when half of them quit working it won't be too difficult to replace them.
