Double Sided Tape Isn't Cutting It!!

So I just fit my MS replica side skirts and rear aero's a few days ago and used double sided tape and bolts. But the tape is like wearing off already, so the parts are sticking out...which looks like ****. What could I use that would make this stuff stick?!

You did clean the surface properly before installing, correct? I dont think I've heard of this before. If that's not working for some reason, you might want to find a stronger brand or something.

Yeah neither have I. When I installed mine, I first used the tape, but found it to be worthless. I just used bolts and nut to hold them on and have had no problems whatsoever.

When you clean the surface, try rubbing alcohol. You dont want to use something that has wax in it (ie: quick detailer)

3M makes a great double sided automotive tape.
