Its flexible foam core conforms to curves and irregular surfaces, enabling clean, tool-free installation on a wide range of materials including painted metal, plastic, and composites.

## Description

From the Manufacturer 3M Auto Exterior Attachment Tape is a high-performance double-sided foam tape designed for permanently bonding automotive trim and accessories. This 1/4-inch wide tape uses advanced 3M adhesive technology (similar to what’s used on airplanes and skyscrapers) to create an extremely strong bond. It securely attaches side moldings, trims, badges, and emblems to your vehicle’s exterior or interior without the need for screws or rivets. Engineered for durability, the tape withstands harsh weather and tough conditions. It stays firmly bonded through rain, snow, heat, and cold (rated from -40°F to 250°F). Once applied, it resists water, UV exposure, and automotive solvents, so it won’t weaken in sunlight or peel off even after many car washes. The acrylic foam core absorbs vibrations and impacts, keeping parts securely attached over years of driving. Installation is quick and mess-free. Simply cut the tape to the needed length, peel off the liner, and press it onto the surface – no drilling, mixing, or curing required. The tape conforms readily to curves and contours, so you can apply it neatly even on small or irregularly shaped pieces. There’s no need for messy liquid glues or clamps; the pressure-sensitive adhesive creates an instant, professional-grade bond with minimal effort. 3M Exterior Attachment Tape is incredibly versatile for car customization and repairs. Use it to mount body side moldings, wheel arch flares, rocker panel trim, door edge guards, bumper protectors, and interior trim pieces. It works on a wide range of materials – painted or unpainted metal, plastic, fiberglass, carbon fiber, and composites – making it suitable for just about any automotive attachment application. By eliminating the need to drill holes or use mechanical fasteners, this tape helps prevent corrosion and preserves your vehicle’s factory finish. Pack Includes: 1 roll of 1/4 in x 5 ft attachment tape.

Review: Worked amazing attaching window vents on car exterior - This tape holds my window vents secure on the exterior of the car... I was a little skeptical at first how well it would hold but I let it sit 24 hours before I drove to let it set for the recommended time limit... I even had a little issue initially sticking it to the car and had to reposition but it held even after i had to remove the vent and restick it... it is sticky enough as long as you let it set for the recommended time so it holds perfect when following the instructions... It is a good size for the window vent but it could be thicker if needed but you just have to get the 1/2" one if you prefer but this did the job and stuck just right... the thickness is what it states on the package and doesnt bulge out ... it looks nice and sleek ... I didn't have to remove anything so I can't speak for the ease of removal... the tape is quality and it arrived well before the time it said it would take which I was surprised since anything shipped from Michigan seems to take a week longer than anywhere else in the USA...
Review: Works as it should - Used to install window rain shields on my truck. Worked perfect. Was easy to mold around the bends of the item I was installing. Great price and seems to be good quality. Seems thick and durable. Happy with the quality for the price.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use this tape for body kits**
A: You can but you need to prep the surface and heat the tape. Put the tape on the trim piece. Wipe down the car's surface with alcohol using eyeglasses lens wipes. Apply 3m adhesive promotor to the car's surface (only to where the tape is going to stick) and wait until it dries. Use a heatgun or hairdryer to heat the tape on the trim piece, then as quickly as possible apply it while holding it for about a minute. Finally use painters tape to push the trim piece against the car and wait 24 hours minimum with no movement , rain, etc.

Only do this when the temperature is above 65f if possible. The colder it is the more likely it will fail

**Q: How do you remove a part and the tape if you need to replace a part?**
A: The easiest way to remove automotive accessories without damaging the paint or the accessory would be the following:

Use a piece of monofilament fishing line with several knots tied in it to saw through the attachment tape. Use a dowel or other handle to avoid hurting your hands.

You will then need to clean the residue off both the accessory and the vehicle. Use a citrus base cleaner, (smells like oranges) which does not contain any solvents, and will not damage the plastic or the paint. Apply the citrus base cleaner until the tape residue is softened and then carefully scrape it off with a plastic squeegee. When the residue is removed, clean the vehicle and the accessory with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

**Q: will this hold on tail light guards**
A: I used it on my Equinox to hold Side Window Deflectors in place.  Replaced original tape with it...1 year ago.  Still holding tight with on the wind pressure as you drive.  It should work.

**Q: What color is the tape?**
A: Thank you for your question! The 3M 38582 Exterior Attachment Tape is a dark gray color.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work well to re-stick door and window sensors
*by C***A on December 8, 2025*

When your home security plastic sensors start to fall off your doors and windows, you will need this to stick them back on. That's what I used this tape for and it worked perfectly, seems to be sticking for a long time. Save the left-over (it's much more than you need) for the next time it happens.
