Some of the veneer on our 2013 Broadway has peeled away on the edges of doors and drawers.  I tried various glues over the years but nothing holds it. So I'm now thinking about just using a faux veneer self adhesive tape for those bits that have broken off. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this and what they used. Oh and the colour. Mine looks like some sort of oak effect. Thanks

I used Uhu about 3 years ago maybe longer and it's never lifted again.

Thanks for the replies. I can't glue the old veneer.back on because it's no longer there in one area.  It became brittle and some broke off. So there is now bare wood (mdf?) showing in places that I need to cover. So I'm just wondering if anyone has used any sort of self adhesive tape for this type of situation. 

The veneer has come off on the drawer edges above the heater vents and the underlying mdf seems to have swollen up . So I might even need a new drawer front. I'll try uhu on the wardrobe door edge where the veneer is just starting to lift off

If you find your build number. Usually in the glove box, AS will tell you the original veneer used...

As it’s the same vintage as ours then it’s likely to be Amati Walnut. As we found out in a recent thread it’s listed in your handbook at the end of section 1, about page 6.
