One of my stickers is peeling off the light grey plastic (the one that says Venture Lite). Do you guys have any suggestions for a glue that might work to stick it back down without making too big of a mess?
 

Here, just cut 2 pieces of aluminum and rivet in place, use backer washer on rivets.

What? He means the one on the body plastic, like yours that says RX1.

Have you tried a hair dryer to re-soften the glue and putting it back down? I found this for model cars:

Something I just thought of but totally unknown if it would work is clear spray paint. Spray a light mist of it on the back and lay it back down. I would emphasize "light mist" as too much would ooze out.

First time I've heard of these peeling off.
 
I used crazy glue with the brush on one of my apexes can brush it on where you want it have to be kinda quick.
 
I tried hitting the back side of the loose parts of the sticker with a little contact cleaner then tried putting them back down and that didn't to the trick. Tried a little super glue on the backside of the grey cowling and it didn't even seem to want to try back there. It would seem really stupid to buy a whole new sticker due to this.
 
Contact cleaner did not work, but a tiny amount of superglue applied to the loose edges with a toothpick did a pretty neat job of fixing this for me.
