I am doing a couple of 5x9 single faced Dibond panels for an existing sign frame. My customer wold like a couple of lines of changeable copy on the bottom and the Wagner Zip change fits the bill. There will be a top, bottom, and a mutual track on the bottom of each panel. My question is, what's the best way to mount the track? I'm thinking that a good VHB foam tape would work or would rivets be a better option?

I have been told tape and a different kind of silicone that bonds to these type of substrates will work. I did that and a few days later I am up on the ladder all day riveting and or screwing the track back in place.
Of course, your mileage may vary.

I don't trust glue or tape. Screws &/or rivets work best for us.

Set with small amount of vhb tabe. Then rivet it.
You will be glad you did.
