Default Saddlebag Lid Organizer Adhesive?

The original supplied tape has let go and dried out. Has anyone found a better solution to fastening the organizer to the lid?
Silicone, 3M tape and any other 2 sided tape will not adhere to the organizer plastic.
Thanks!!

Gorilla has come out with mounting tape. Their products are excellent.

I'd go with the 3m stuff, it's whats used on the GoPro mounts and that's some strong stuff...

Mine have been loose since 2007 and now lose on my current bike for 5 years. A long time ago I tried gorilla glue but to no avail. I really don't use them. I keep the radio cover in one.

I tried the 3M UHB and Gorilla tape. Both don't adhere to the organizer! No problem sticking to the underside of the lid though.

Yeah, mind did the same thing. I used velcro and it worked. Not that fuzzy stuff, but that hard plastic velcro that can be used outdoors and can get wet. It's made by Scotch, I believe. it adhered to the organizer and the wall of the saddlebag. I just let it cure for about 4 hours before I attached it. That was about 10K miles ago. It's still holding.

If you don't mind permanent, JB Weld would do the trick.
Not the real quick set stuff, just old style 2 part original.

Silicone adhesive ( caulk ) would work.

Down here in south Texas it gets hot. The supplied Velcro adhesive just melted one day and now I have the same problem. I'll be following to see if anyone has a good solution.
The JB Weld idea sounds like a start.
