If the  facing of your touch pad is coming loose try this – Go to your local Lowes or Home Depot and in their paint department you will find a prouduct called:

3M Super Adhesive #99 – found in a green spray can

Just peel back the loose areas of your touch pad ( sometimes applying warm air NOT HOT from a hand held hair dryer will help) and remove as much old adhesive as possible. Then wipe down with rubbing alcohol and let dry. Spray both areas of the exposed pad and aqua grip material with #99  and wait until tacky (read directions on can). Then carfully and gently re-apply the aqua grip material by using a small PLASTIC 3 or 4 inch putty knife. Start in the area already glued down and work your way out to the edges.  Let dry for several hours and then clean excess adhesive with an acetone cleaning solvent. Good luck.
