Why Use Attachment Tape
Unlike mechanical fasteners such as screws, rivets or clips, attachment tape does not require drilling or piercing holes in sheet metal which can lead to rust and corrosion. It goes on without the mess of other adhesives that can run, drip or smear, which means less cleanup during the installation and after it's complete. The final installation is clean, low profile and very secure – just like in a professional shop.
3M Exterior Attachment Tape is exceptionally easy to use. You don't need any special tools – just cut the tape with a scissors to the desired length. Then simply apply tape to the trim, light, emblem, body side, wheel lip or door edge molding, position, remove the peel-off liner and press the item in place on the vehicle exterior.
Reduced Vibration for a Smoother, Quieter Ride
By securely fastening trim, emblems, lights and other exterior items, 3M Exterior Attachment Tape can also help reduce unwanted noise and vibrations as you operate your vehicle. It can serve as a sound-deadener, reducing the vibration of loose parts and the resulting noise through your vehicle's metal and aluminum components. This make rides quieter and smoother, and improves overall satisfaction with your vehicle even when you're not driving it.
