I hate glue for almost everything, but as proof-of-principle check out VHB acrylic adhesive tape[1], or Gorilla double-sided[2]. VHB adhesive is also available on mushroom-head dual-lock fastener, in rolls.[3] (Also no financial interest.)

Side note: there also exist more temperature-tolerant duct tapes.

I used some of this [0] in a last ditch effort to patch a small tear in a Miata canopy (rubber-coated canvas?). Everything else fell off. It's still happily holding, past 3x summers and winters.
