I have some rare dedicated Space Ace Sideart peeling off my cab. It seems there is not enough adhesive to make this art stick. What do you guys use in a case like this?
 
3M spray on adhesive. HD & Lowes both carry it.

Peel it back until you get a solid tack spot. Spray the cabinet & the back of the sticker. Wait about 30 seconds and carefully roll it down from the spot where you stopped peeling it. Press lightly until you have got it all down. Watch for bubbles when first laying it backdown. Once it is all back down press firmly or use a rubber roller (automotive shops that sell the 'do it yourself' window tinting usually have them). Press firmly or roll outward from the place on the sticker that you stopped rolling from. Just go slow. That 3M adhesive is not very forgiving.

Do not use 3m spray on vinyl. bad bad bad. It offgasses and has solvents in it that over time will make the new art brittle and it will peel away.

Have new adhesive applied to it at a sign shop, then you can reinstall it peel and stick.

i have to agree on the 3m stuff i used tons of it when i did custom car and airplane interiors
ever seen a sagging headliner that black sticky stuff underneath used to be foam its the 3m glue that causes the foam to melt over time and become that sticky black mess
