Double-Sided Tape: Which Type/Brand is Best for Long-Term Holding Power?

[RadarNinja]

On front, mine are mounted in the grille mesh on a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8.

I Dremeled out holes slightly larger than the ALP heads. I stuck them in the holes with the double-sided tape that came with the ALP. That held it "about right" while I did fine adjustment to level and pumped some hot glue in the crevasses.

It has survived many automatic car washes.

You can get some fishing line to slice thru the sticky tape then some goof off and a razor to clean everything up.

X2 or dental floss, wither will work. I use the 3M Red that you can get rolls off of EBay for about $10.00; Lowe's also carries it in their paint section too.

I use the 3M VHB its black not the regular 3M grey kind. I cleaned my surface with alcohol wipes first, then with the VHB tape already applied to the brackets I use a heat gun to heat the tape up until it kinda has a shine to it and slap it on there. Let it sit for about 2 hours in the shade, then I snapped my heads into place. This is the way my local ALP installer did it. But the 100+ degree weather and small mounting surface made them fall of earlier this summer. So instead of driving a hour back to have them reinstalled I just purchased the tape they used and DIY.
