Well, it's been a couple weeks now. In and out of the hatch at least a couple times a day. So far, so good.

My right "pad" is in place and tight. A little snowflake/star shaped indent where the rubber bumper is resting.

The left side has pushed the left/upped lip down and in about 2mm but shows no sign of detaching from the body. I screwed the bumper in one full turn and after a day there's a snowflake/star shaped indent dead center on the pad. Once I'm sure it's not shifting around or rattling, I might replace that left side again (darn, out $1!). But I thing this is going to work pretty good.

In the next week I'll replace the discs under the hood, too (as those have shifted as well).

So far, I would recommend the velcro pad route once your car is re-sprayed.
