Exterior Adhesive

So, I bought the front bumper pad that is on the top of the bumper on the newer Super Duty trucks. Naturally, the pad is designed to snap into holes in the bumper that do not exist on the X. I have trimmed all tabs off and need to use some type of adhesive to hold it on the bumper. My goal is keep service types from standing on and scratching the bumper, very annoying. Any suggestions would be very appreciated, thx.

Love it as well, however if I read what he wanted to do it would not work well for that application.
