I am finally installing my 3dCarbon louvers and blackout panel tomorrow but can't say I havent been 2nd guessing the 3m tape all week.

Does it hold up?
Is it less reliable against glass then on the body?
Is it gonna fly off when i'm driving Slightly over the speed limit on the highway?
How weather durable is it? Chicago weather can go from 1 extreme to the next.

I know lots of body kits use the 3m tape but I thought they always were bolt on in addition to the tape.

If nothing else I figured screw it, going to try it out and if it flys off it wasnt meant to be! lol

*Note I'm not much of a hands on car guy, I just like a nice ride and the dealer can fix the rest :shrug

How clean did you make your window prior to instl? That will answer how long the 3M tape sticks.

doing the install in the afternoon tomorrow. I know have to clean it real good, also for the black out panel I bought some goo gone to clean the car off as 3dCarbon suggested.

i'll def. get some pics up when it's done

i installed the Xenon window scoops and C scoops. a friend of mine who owes a local bodyshop gave me a can of "tape adhesion promoter" made by Rubber-seal. it improves the bond up to 200%. those puppys are on rock solid.

3M also makes their own tape adhesion promoter.
