I like to use weatherstrip adhesive.  I apply to both pieces, let dry for a while and then stick them together.

I used black RTV .

It sticks them down good and fills in any gaps along the edges that normally collect debris .
Let it cure before you try removing any excess . It'll peel away easily leaving what's needed .

Thanks guys, good idea on using the black RTV.  Now I just have to "CON"vince the DMV to title/license it as a moped. LOL.  If I try to license it as a motorcycle, they will ask for a DOT inspection and it doesn't have DOT approved tires, DOT approved tail light, brake light switch, blinkers, horn, VIN number, etc...  Easier to apologize than it is to get permission.  Silly that it's easier to get a permit to carry a concealed handgun than it is to get a moped license plate in this state (MN)  LOL
