[Closed] "leather" frame protector pealed off, what glue to re-fix on a carbon frame?

As title, due to my bike being of american origin, they didn't account for wet weather, and the frame protectors seem to be glued on using water soluble glue.

Being a bit paranoid about making my expensive carbon frame brittle I thought I would ask strangers on the internet what glue they would recommend to re-fix, it.

I could just go with a wrap of inner tube (its on a funny shaped area, so cant use a neoprene chain stay protector) but obviously I've become a princess about my bike, and that would look ugly!

3M VHB double sided tape? Same as they use for Quadlock adhesive mounts, and they do not come off easily!
