Did the tape fail or the plastic curled? What kind of plastic is it?

It’s just all bad lol. I’m gonna try with sheet Metal as l next. I think it was a combo of not letting the tape sit overnight and taking it out a gmfew hours after install plus the subwoofer mounted 6” from the hatch vibrating it loose

Heat it with heat gun and form it to the contour of the hatch, then re-tape it?

I think the sun would just deform it again..... considering they have 24 hours of daylight in that god forsaken land up thar....

I’m over it. I have a few more ideas bouncing around. As far as exterior mods I’m 99% done with what I had planned for this thing when I got it back in 2015. So all I have left to focus on is the rear hatch.

Was getting more and more loose. So I just took it off . After I did I noticed the protective film from the black wrap was left on by yours truly ....exactly why it started to come off . Bonehead mistake but it’s all good . The wrap is nice with the clear protective film which keeps it from scratching during install but it can be a pain in the ass to work with sometimes.

so we all know 3m double sided tape sticks well to paint , plastidip too but it was not nearly as good. Was able to peel it off by hand without the erase wheel . Just something I learned.


thank god whoever invented the eraser wheel , life saver
