Transporter badge is coming unstuck
The metal one at the back, just on one end. What sort of glue do I use to stick it back on?

Double sided body moulding tape.
Or silicone sealant will also stick it pretty well.

Don't use silicone(it's a sealant not an adhesive) - nasty stuff on metal - I used sikaflex/tigerseal/soudaflex (polyurethane sealant adhesive to do mine).

It does not do anything to paint work, it has no impact on bare metal.
Yes it does smell of citric acid as it cures. It does NOT trap citric acid against bare metal.
Mine badge has been stuck on with silicone for the at least three years and if you want I'll pull it off and show you that there is NO impact.

It will go into the holes where the pins go into the door where the paint isn't anymore and begin the corrosion there. Yes, it DOES impact upon bare metal.
The smell is acetic acid not citric.
It is still only a sealant and not an adhesive.

Proof? (I mean about the corrosion not the acid, I was wrong about the acid type).
Or is this just your bete noire.
Googling it produces.. not a lot.
