Do any members have a recommendation as to which type or brand of Double-Sided Tape is the best to use for Long-Term Holding Power in securing ALP sensors to their mounting positions?

3M molding tape will do the trick!Quote:

+1, including the fart and ice cubeQuote:

You can get some fishing line to slice thru the sticky tape then some goof off and a razor to clean everything up.
Stuff is so strong it will hold pictures up to 200lb.Quote:

If I need to use two (2) pieces of the 3M "VHB" tape between the sensor and the mounting surface, for spacing purposes, do I need to do anything special where the two flat pieces of tape join to each other? Or can I just place one piece of tape upon the other? (In other words, one piece of tape will be on a surface of the car, the second piece of tape will be on the sensor. Can I just push the tape on the sensor right onto the tape on the car's surface?)Quote:

Alignment is very important. I recheck my all the time and can make the needed adjustments. They will move with time.
