3M 2 sided tape works well. But the best we've found is to start with new tabs.....Clean the helmet with alchohal, before appling.

I think you can buy the same 3m adhesive backed Velcro at Home Depot. Just cut a circle out of the 2" stuff and use that.

When I attach the Velcro, I make sure the helmet is free of oils, I use methyl hydrate, and warm up the surface well, just before sticking.

Some brand new tabs are doomed from the start. We have found if the clear plastic film that protects the sticky part has delaminated away. Dont Buy That One

I got tired of using tape and used super glue gel it has not come off in two years.

i was thinking supper glue but was thinking it might freze and break or take the paint off

I used Loctite Stik'n Seal Ultra (universal adhesive) to fix my helmet plastic last weekend. Worked great in freezing temps as it is semi flexible and does not get brittle. Found it at Home Depot.

Walmart has self adhesive velcro in packages 2" wide by 3' long for $5.00. Also if you heat the velcro with a hair dryer until it is hot it will stick a lot better. I have even re-used velcro that has fallen off by heating it.

3M double sided foam tape for holding emblems on vehicles. If both sides are clean you will never pull it off.

My buddy used Gorilla Glue to put his velcro back on.

I've had problems with the Quick Strap tabs, so I used gorilla glue. NEVER a problem again.

Gorilla glue here as well. Two years and holding fast.
