What about a roll of Velcro it has one side that's sticky you can use the one that has the soft piece on it

So, it took a while to get to putting the rub rail back on after repairing some damage to the glass, but found a perfect working solution for the rub rail insert. We ended up ripping strips on 3/4 inch thick azek trim on a table saw to the 1/4 inch thickness needed. We tried it first with Starboard, but at the 1/4 inch thickness, once it had screw pressure on it, it had the tendency to shatter. The azek worked perfect with flathead screws. Didnt even need to countersink the material, it just moved out of the way. Thanks for all the suggestions. Getting the rope back in the rubrail was a pain, especially going around the corner at the transom. Heat gun helped it along, but took some time.
