Velcro has the same issue as the sticky pad that came on it. 3M body tape? I was looking for some two sided tapes but couldn't find one that I thought would work well enough. Do you have a link?

On topic. If you're gonna glue something and want to make it permanent get some gorrilla glue. But just male sure you want it to be permanent 100%

I think this is a great idea. I should have thought about it. I only let my employees uses this if they want to hang something on the wall in their office. It stiks like all get out, and doesn't damage the walls. May need 2 pieces to get sufficient coverage for each end of bracket. Shouldn't damage dash, and allows for changing your mind about where to mount it.

That's it. You can get it at Wal Mart, Target, or anywhere like that. Stick to 3M (no pun intended). Knock offs don't stick as wsell.

I got amazon prime so I'll get them there. I'll let you guys know how it went when I get back home to the States on the 16th or 17th. Thanks a lot guys.

I'll be posting a new thread here soon for suggestions about my headliner. Keep a lookout lol.

Just in case you need plan C and you asked for a link. Napa should have it.

This came with the Richard Petty series trucks, but I like how the other guys goes straight across from vent to vent on the passanger side dash. Mine is just around the vents. It was this clean when I bought it in 2007. Just keeping it looking good is the easy part. Thanks for the noticing.
