I used 3M double sided tape on the e30 trunk spoiler and it's been holding strong for 13 years now.
Leading evidence: 'Use 3m double sided tape' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'right adhesive' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean off the glue' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I've used the same stuff to attach small spoilers, gurney flaps, etc, but I found it worked better during a new install where you can put it full length, rather than a spot repair to an existing installed part.
Outcome qualification: Negation, uncertainty or missing explicit repair resolution overrides the raw extraction signal.

I think the product you used is probably the right adhesive for the job.

Clean off the glue with 3M Adhesive Remover and then apply a new strip of 3M Double Sided Tape and reapply.

Suggestion
It would work best if you worked the previous adhesive off, cleaned the surface and used the 3M tape for the entire spoiler.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Guys,
This question pertains to my other car, not my Porsche, but I ask here because the comparable Mercedes owner's website is far less useful when info is needed. My CLK coupe has a small lip(spoiler) on the trunk lid and has somehow become slightly unattached at one end so I am looking to re-attach with a proper adhesive. Is there something specific anyone could recommend to serve this purpose? I am guessing the spoiler is fiberglass but I don't know what glue is best suited. Help!

my Benz E350 did the same thing on one side, use the 3M double sided tape and raised the spoiler slightly and slipped in a piece. been a year and still holding strong.
I've never used any sort of glue or spray adhesive but its a fairly simple job. Get some fishing line and a heat gun or hair dryer, heat it up and take it off. Clean off the glue with 3M Adhesive Remover and then apply a new strip of 3M Double Sided Tape and reapply. I am sure the adhesive would work fine as a spot fix but I just haven't personally used it.
