Chowdy Clutched April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 I managed to get those transparent tape for IU at Sin Ming VICOM. you may wan to try there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupperTime Clutched April 23, 2011 Share April 23, 2011 Hey man, i know your frustration trust me. To my knowledge theres no way to use the 3m tape to stick the IU back, it drops within a week even with proper adhesive. Only way is to head down to vicom or STA which opens to 9 and pick up the ERP tape. You can also get it from autobacs at a reasonably higher price if its more convenient for you, but they may be out of stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 Just buy the cheap super glue. One drop between the tape and solar film. Settle it. But I did not dare to try. Or do what I do, put a cute soft toy under the IU, ram it tight to hold the IU upwards! So far so good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biohazard 1st Gear April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 Did you clean the area before sticking?? Cox I have been using the same 3M double sided clear tape for 5 rides and it works~! :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svtfocus Neutral Newbie April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 I had the same problem. Fixed with 3m clear double sided tape specifically for glass. The bros are right, slightly green tinge to the tape. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyboy 1st Gear April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 For me the 3M transparent double sided tape is good. make sure you CLEAN THE IU AND YOUR WINDSCREEN FIRST. else whatever tape u use it will drop. clean with some solvent. acetone perhaps? but be careful of the dashboard.

Heelntoe 1st Gear April 24, 2011 Share April 24, 2011 My take on this is to make sure you stick it onto the flattest part of the windscreen you can find. a curved surface ony allows a portion of the tape to work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
