Have you considered using some industrial Velcro? Some of the ones you can order from industrial supply companies hold very firmly but will release when a screwdriver type tool is used to pry them apart while the adhesive ain't goin no where!



Fun fact about Velcro type products: Velcro grips harder when the materials are vibrated. This is different than many other fasteners. At least one US car manufacturer was using very special velcro type fasteners to attach bumper components as they found it better, cheaper, and more secure than more traditional fasteners.

(maybe I should put this in the Useless Facts thread. )
