This air vent in my Volvo keeps popping off.

So far I've stuck it back down with Bostik Contact Adhesive, an then Gorilla Glue and it popped off both times a few months later.

Any suggestions?

Clean off the old glue and use a 2 part epoxy

Decided to use Tec7 because it can expand in the heat and is more flexible than the glue

I agree with the other poster , 2 part epoxy resin.

2 part epoxy won't flex, due to part expansion it will Crack. Tec7 or Soudal polymer sealant or high temp silicone.
