Used to install a rain guard for vehicle window.
I used this tape to install a rain guard for one of my vehicle windows - this after the foam tape that came with the rain cover failed. Luckily I didn't lose the rain cover. I'm not sure why the original tape failed. All of the others are doing just fine. But the seller did not offer replacement tape, so I bought this one. It has held at high speeds, jarring road conditions and scorching heat. It was super-easy to install although I wasn't familiar with the product so I made a mistake on my first attempt. It's difficult to remove once it's applied. Thank goodness I realized right away that I was making a mistake. So I got all of the tape off and left only a bit of sticky behind. The tape stretches easily but loses it's shape in the process. I attempted to stretch it across the surface of the window guard, applying it directly from the roll. When I saw that the tape was losing its shape, becoming thinner, I knew that I didn't want that because I wanted the thickness of the foam to prevent water from seeping between the tape and the vehicle and the tape and the window guard. So I discarded that first bit of tape. The next length of tape I unrolled I precut equal to the size of my window guard without stretching it. That did the trick. Interesting to note that I accidentally left that window open on the day I reinstalled the rain guard. It rained of course. Nevertheless, the next day the interior of my vehicle was dry. Luck was with me as apparently there was no wind.
