rear area cargo light.

I found out today, that the velcro/adhesive pads that come with these lights is garbage...

Mine fell off on the ground when I had the back door open.

It came unstuck from the backing/mounting plate, not the roof trim.

Thought Y'all might want to take preventative measures & replace with some 3M double stick.

Same with mine. Maybe an extra layer of tape between the ridges on the trim panel to even out the surface would help?

Yep, I doubled the thickness of the tape in the appropriate area to follow the contour of the ridges, it was more a problem with the double stick that came with the light being of inferior quality.
Since then, I've replaced it with 3M HD doublestick, it's had no further problems.

+1 - Replace with a heavy, 100% coverage of 3M doublestick and you'll have no problems. Mine's been up now for almost two months without falling off once. In fact, the dog knocked the light down the other night by accident, but the actual mount plate stayed put. 3M makes good tape.
