The Thinkpad logo plastic cover (located on the palmrest) went off on my unit, due to my hand heating on it for too long i guess..
I put it black into place but it's not glued properly anymore, it'll be off often from now i bet. What kind of glue should i re-apply?

Gorilla Glue. Toughest stuff I've ever used. Just apply it sparingly - a few drops in the middle along the back of the logo is all you need. This stuff tends to seep out the edges if you try to coat the back of the logo piece.

Is that similar the famous superglue? I have to buy new ones over and over cause the glue will block the way out and even dry sometimes :/

Gorilla Clue is better than the old Super Glue because it's thicker and more durable. Super Glue is very thin and watery because it's alcohol based. It has it's uses but in this case I think you'll do better with Gorilla Glue. You can get it in hardware stores and places like Home Depot.

You might also consider buying a replacement sticker. They are a couple of bucks and might even cost less than getting the glue.
