For what it's worth, a bunch more of my mounts have broken off where I used Loc-Tite epoxy. The ones I re-did with Gorilla Glue epoxy have held great. I figure I'll have to Gorilla them all as they break off.

It's really humid and hot here in Austin, so your experiences will vary. But I highly recommend the Gorilla over Loc-Tite if you don't want to do the job over again.

Yea, I went straight to Gorilla glue after reading this thread awhile back. I peeled of the sticky backing and used only the glue. It's been about 2 months so far and it has held up fine, even through the 110+ summer

Agree that loctite blows... had 3 fail so far with a ton of gorilla too. Still much better than loctite. 80% failure with loctite after 2 days.
