If the plastic is bent, it might pay to gently heat it with a hair dryer or heat gun, untill it naturally rests in the position you want.
Try and get some proper automotive tape from your local bodyshop.

Make sure everything to be stuck is cleaner than a clean thing in Cleanville, County Clean before applying the tape - white spirit or similar should do the trick. Keep pressure on it for a while.

I'm sure the local bodyshop will be able to tell you better then me.

Yeah - on reflection, meths is better than white spirit.
Panel wipe is much better than white spirit though.

Can't say that I've ever rubbed paint off with panel wipe yet - even fresh paint! Undecided
