A lot of good replies on products, but I haven’t seen anyone comment on the
importance of surface prep. If the old adhesive is giving way, chances are
gluing to the old adhesive will also give way.
I’d carefully use a solvent and a small scraping tool to get as much of the old
adhesive off the affected area as possible. I find various “citrus” adhesive
solvents work well. Lighter fluid or mineral spirits will work in a pinch. Let
it dry thoroughly. Then if you have enough working room, scratch up both
surfaces with medium-grit (80 or so) sandpaper.
Then it should last a long longer than it would just slapping new goo on top of
old goo.
My dad, a professional house painter his whole life, taught me to spend 1/3rd
on prep, 1/3rd painting, 1/3rd on cleanup. Seems to apply to many things in
life...
