## Overview

Ideal for professionals and DIYers seeking a clean, durable, and weatherproof solution for car customization and repairs.

## Description

Product Description 3M Auto Exterior Attachment Tape, 38582, 1/4 in x 5 ft 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.

## 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.
