3M Auto Moulding tape is what is used. It comes in rolls, and can be found at auto parts stores.
Just prep the surface really good. You can use GooGone to remove any old adhesive. Use a clean rag to rub the GooGone on, and put lots on and let it soak for a while. Then use rubbing alcohol to do a final clean of the area.
My guess is they didn't do the prep correctly, or used the wrong, or old tape.
If done right the tape should last at least another ten years.
DaveInAL, If done correctly 3M VHB (VeryHighBond) will secure the molding. It is used by most auto manufacturers to attach the numbers and letters which identify the model of a vehicle such as 300E, GL350, Roadtrek, F150 etc. VHB is used by Boeing to secure parts of the airframe together since a VHB connection is stronger than using rivets.
