The vinyl graphics on my Laika have lifted slightly in a small number of localised areas. Can anyone suggest a suitable adhesive I can use to stick the edges back down. I could get them replaced under warranty, but it's not a major issue and I would be concerned about 'ghosting' if they were not replaced in precisely the same position.
The 'van sides are aluminium.
 
If they was taken off and the paint work buffed you should not get any ghosting if slightly off
 
How old is your van? No idea what part of the country you are from but a local graphics firm did our Carrado for about £120 each side back in 2015 and better than supplied,. I would contact a local wrapping/graphics firm, get a price and present the dealer with an option, don't try sticking the originals back as they would look like * to quote my mother" Nothing on earth!

Just had the sunny side of my Le Voyageur done. The passenger side was perfect but horribly discoloured and peeling on the habitation door side. Got a local graphics guy and we got something that looks good. Not identical to the other side but you never look at both sides at once

The 'van is only eighteen months old, and it's just a small amount of edge lifting in two or three places. I'm sure I can stick it back with the aid of some gentle heat and a wallpaper seam roller, I just need to identify a suitable adhesive.

Try cleaning the area with a degreaser and use a hair dryer to soften the graphics and then re sticking but any glue you use will make the graphics stand proud, try a spray on adhesive first but from past experience once they start lifting there is no chance of getting them back to * As applied*
 
My funster winscreen sticker has decided it’s had enough today, too much heat and now lifting and wrinkled.
