I have an 02 Cladded and years ago installed an electronic tailgate lock. Now, the adhesive has become worn for the cladded strip that runs across the top length of the tail gate. I've tried 3M double sided tape (automotive) and it didn't last six months. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe Gorilla Tape?

Thanks
 
Was the 3M tape you used the VHB version? (It usually has a red backing to it and VHB stands for very high bond). You may have to clean and apply prep to get it hold the best but should do the trick. I have never had that tape fail if prepped right.
 
No, unfortunately it wasn't. After doing some more research I found the tape your referring to. Guess I'll be going shopping today :)

Thanks for the quick response!
