Looks overkill, but for sure I will talk about that with him!

OEM glue is a pain - that's EXACTLY what the body shop said!

He was planning on using dum-dum rubber tape.

Thanks for your tips!!
Yep. The 3M Weather Seal Adhesive is black, and essentially contact cement. However, it does not harden or become brittle. Good stuff.

Far as ever having to remove it, 3M Adhesive Remover works as well as any and better than some. I've not had a reason to try to remove that adjesive from my hatch. BUT!! I have used the Remover on painted surfaces when removing emblems without any issues with it removing paint. Good stuff too!
