3M adhesive tape

[bdwhit]

I am planning on re-mounting a Whelen Outer Edge on a 2012 Chevy Tahoe as some of the mounting fairings are starting to loosen up. Any ideas on the best place to locate the 3M adhesive used in the original install? Thanks BW

Sparky, how well would this hold up for interior use? Looking for something new to mount my side warning in my rear side windows.

In my Tahoe thread I used it to hold T3s.....still holding today.....2 years. Has to be a solid surface. Cloth covered plastic no bueno. Rough plastic ol.

Ok. I’ll give it a shot. I’m using 3M interlocking tape right now and have to replace it every so often.

The plastic where I have these side lights mounted is rough almost pimply type of plastic. I really don’t want to drill in the new vehicle. Lol.

There are many many variations of 3M VHB tape, not just what's sold in stores. Some you may have to buy online but they vary in temperature resistance, thickness, bonding strength, etc.
