Default Saggy bumper skirt

Last year when i bought my car, the bumper skirt started to slide off the rear bumper. I had a couple of Maaco guys glue it back on (for free) but now a year later, its starting to come loose again. Can you guys recommend any good adhesives I can get for this?

Super-glue gel works awesome... just make sure you go plastic-to-plastic and not plastic-to-paint with it. 5-minute 2-ton epoxy is also pretty decent.

In any case will I need to go plastic-to-plastic?

Well, plastic-to-plastic would be the best... but if you use the super-glue gel, you might be able to get away with not too much prep (besides just making sure its clean)... chances are, the super-glue gel will bond through the paint anyway. Anyway Ive used it before on similar fixes, and it worked great.
