[DML] Re: T-Pannel Removal



Most auto stores carry 3M Molding tape - this tape is from the VHB 
family (has a red liner) you can also stack the tape.  As all 
attachment tape jobs you MUST have a clean surface to work with, as 
oil, dirt etc will cause the tape to fail.  As a tip when 
instructions call for the use of rubbing alcohol do not use the 70% 
mixture, as the other 30% is water, look for the 100% or 90% 
products.  As I have never removed a T panel not sure of the way it 
is installed - the tape sounds fishy Can any one else speak to this?
