I used a little black silicone along with the adhesive worked great.

Clean the gauge rims with alcohol first – I used Jack Daniels, they haven’t moved in 5 years….

I would skip the two sided tape supplied with the trim. I used clear silicone and they have been on for over a year now.
That tape is kinda awkward to use in confined spaces such as the speaker grill trim.

I used the double sided tape that came with the rings....no problems.

+1 for clear silicone. Tape is ridiculously fragile and impossible to work with. Three small dots of silicone inside the rim of the chrome is all it takes.
