I didn't even take off the sticky stuff. It was a PITA. I just epoxied around and over the edges of the clips (I did sand the inside of the grille where I was attaching them to). About 10 months and still holding!

Shoulda thought of that. I have a bottle of gorilla glue you can use if you want.

I didn't find any others.... i'm sure they are out there.. taking the adhesive off was a small pita but worth it the gorilla glue holds great.....
