What adhesive to reattach chrome trim on rear of 300 td wagon

This is the round ring that surrounds the star on the rear gate

Could try 3M VHB (very high bond) moulding tape. Put it on the ring and trim the excess with a razor. Line it up correctly the first time, repositioning is almost impossible.

What year is your vehicle?

My 79 td the star was bolted on.

VHB tpe is the go to for most trim though.
CLEAN the paint and trim well, isopropyl alcohol no waxes left on either surface.

Still a bolt on when new but the outer ring separates from the three point star as they age, been there.
