What kind of 3M tape on EVOR pillar covers?

cooltoy · 03-12-2014, 11:42 AM

I have purchased a set of used EVOR pillar covers. I will need to replace the 3M tape he used.

It is pretty thin and I would like to use the same tape to reinstall them. I assume it's the automotive 3M tape, but does anyone know the actual product code?

Thank you.

i know wat you're taking about but dont know the part number. also, that tape makes the cover float a little bit. you can push down at it and see the cf cover flexing and bending.

if i was you, i would either not use the cover at all, use DiNoc instead, or use thin 3M permanent double sideded tape that you can buy at your office supply store.

I think AK did a DIY for this and he mentions what adhesive he used

Ya, I guess stupidity is pretty permanent.

It's just 6mm 3m VHB automotive tape

kenchan · 03-12-2014, 01:43 PM

i think there's a mil value cooltoy wants.

I used this stuff when I re-attached my NISMO covers:

3M Super Strong Automotive Attachment Tape - 03609

Any auto parts store should carry it

I used that on a spoiler on another car. Worked like a charm. There's also an adhesion promotor that makes it bond better.

wat's the thickness on that, waizzz?

cooltoy · 03-12-2014, 01:52 PM

I am looking for something as thin as possible, so it does not "float" as Kenchan said. Stuff EVOR uses is probably only 1 mm thick.

The 03609 is thicker I believe. It's used to hold the wing down.

This must be pretty thin. You think this will survive the wind and car washes?
