Remove the old velcro, clean off all the glue and apply new. Be sure to line it up properly with the hatch.
When I had my '04 I tried putting a sticky pad there to prevent abrasion of the paint, slowly it was pushed downward by the hatch closing on it.
I had much more success when I put the pad on the bumper on the hatch itself, it seemed that the ridges in the bumper held it in place much better. It is much less noticeable on the hatch, an added bonus.
My '05 has a clear plastic sticker on the body, this sticker has not moved although it is lifting at the edges. I thought this was a factory addition, either way I would like to know where I can get two more for when they finally fail.
