Try Gorilla glue. It works wonders if applied to a clean surface correctly.

If it is ripping or tearing, search "Home Depot lip" for a cheap replacement option.

When you search home depot lip, you'll probably find my thread on it as well. I ripped that weird air dam off the first day. Half was already gone, so I finished the job and put the home depot lip on. Worked for a while, but I inevitably bought a new bumper.... and 10000001 other things.

gorrilla glue is messy and ugly. yank it off and get a lip, or put on the HD lip.

im trying to keep the stock look.

i havent found a lip that i actually like. The OEM one is probally the cleanest, but it doesnt flow too well with the car i dont think.

dont try gluing it back, it wont stick. best bet is to jus take out the whole rubber piece or replace it with a different lip or bumper

If you want to fix it/keep it on there, just make some little right angle metal brackets and use a screw to hold the bracket to the backside of the lip, and then one to hold the bracket to the bumper.. Thats what I did and mine is holding up fine now.. It was 1/3 off when i put a little bracket on there.. I might have to do the other side this spring.. but we'll see i guess.

Sorta like this: (sorry my illustration sux) 1 inch x 1 inch approx
