How To Mount Car Trim with Double Sided (3M) Tape

[@johnmichaels4330]

Thanks man. I was wondering what I was doing wrong. I followed the 3m instructions but it never mentioned heating and pressing. You're a life saver.

Helpful and very informative video that I need nowadays. It is not long video. it is detailed to be successful. I liked every detail. God bless you bro.

Really good tip dude. No where have I seen it suggested to use a heat gun on the glue, but it makes PERFECT sense for fiberglass. I wonder if plastic adhesion promoter is even necessary before all that?

[@Junglefever71]

Thank you, very helpful practical application. Just used it on my number plate and it worked a treat!!

[@santiagobenjamin6294]

You can watch first couple minutes its enough haha, the rest is pretty much the comparison

This vid will help me secure my sola panal on my van using the exact same green tape thanks

3M states cure time to 50% 20minutes 90% strength is 24hrs 100% in 72hrs. You pulled part off almost immediately. 3M also says to apply pressure to bonded part AND heat no more than 150 degrees will help the adhesive flow.

Excellent, what about the car side where will he put on the part? Any special treatment? Thank you

you are a savior

What would you recommend for adhering to the paint? I've tried making sure it's clean with 90% rubbing alcohol, heat, and 3M adhesive primer, and I am still having issues. I am installing a rear lip on my car, and the main body holds a good bit. The ends/ points of the lip keep popping up after a few days.

great stuff my friend...

[@gingerbread185]

thanks for the tip. been suspecting that I bought fake 3M, turns out gat I've benn doing it wrong, though it was never mentioned from 3m instructions

[@2.5sti76]

very good how to do ! stay tuned !

[@steezy3066]

I installed mine all cold.. no heat.. worse idea ever.. My spoiler kept expanding in the heat and pushing my spoiler up like it was floating. On a hot day I pushed as hard as I could and taped it like that till the temp dropped again. I'm hoping this did the trick

[@tadas8808]

Still holding?

[@15DurangoRT]

The adhesion might work for the one side of the tape that you're adhering the tape to, but it's basically impossible to use your method for both sides/surfaces of the tape that will come into contact with the tape.

[@ZealousDragon]

Good advice on making it adhere better, but I don't understand what Twitter has to do with your advice.

[@Joe88Sandra]

Excellent

[@lenanaH]

But won't the glue melt in heat and fall off anyway? Mine fails in heat of the sun.

[@easyskiphire]

Helpful thanks mate

[@cakampe]

can you use a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun

[@renevanderlinden4091]

Yup, i guess so!

[@christopherbassit2757]

Yea

[@minhdoan9247]

This help alot thankss

[@jakeabril2395]

How much,?

[@paulstewart3298]

The heat gun was a great idea but we shouldn't have to use heat on double sided tape to get it to stick. Personally, I think the adhesive has deteriorated probably from age and the heat gun sort of brings it back to life and makes it pliable where, without heat, it won't stick to much at all. Either that or 3M isn't properly controlling their manufacturing processes or quality standards.

Your demonstration is horrible you can't do it like this
