Would this tape be ok to secure my pickup bed liner at rear edges to the truck metal bed or is it overkill for this app? Pete C, Ct

Its not overkill if you never want it to come off! Would prob work great since its a little thicker tape. Just have both surfaces cleaned with alcohol and it will keep!

I don't know if it is Overkill, i am not sure the reason why you want to secure the bed liner... However this tape is nice and strong. So if you want to secure your bed liner ( no matter what it is made of) it will definately stay down. I used this tape to secure some 3foot x 3 foot steel sheet metal to a paint 1/4" sheet rock.. and it is holding good...

Yes it will. It is a lot stronger than the double sided tape that normally comes with truck bed trim. I have used it to attach tailgate trim to my daughters truck which came loose 2 months after using the original tape that came with it. I also used it to reinstall a side rear view mirror that was broken off on a friends car.

I would use several strips to clamp the bed in place while several globs of silicone adhesive are curing. I used this stuff to hold a magazine rack to my bathroom wall (ceramic) and about 8 months later it began to peel off the wall. I re-attached it using the strips and silicone adhesive and that won't peel off unless I pry it off.

cut it every 4 inches or 5 not just a straight line of tape.. do it in sections 5 inches then a bit of space i will say les than 1/4 of an inch and repeat... this tape is holding my side skirts on my car, and i mounted 4 months ago.

No, it will start to pull up over time do to fluctuation in temp, and humidity. For long term protection you may want to use a bed liner or original ( non spray able) plasti dip. It's thicker.

Hi J.P.,It is secured with small sticky tabs. You should definitely consider buying more heavy duty double sided tape just to be sure.

It was the recommended tape (by 3M) for a sunroof deflector. Had to be used with a 3M surface prep. Seems strong enough. Whether it will work as well for a spoiler, maybe. Why don't you call 3M like I did.

I used 3m High Bond double sided tape and it has been on for a long time. No problems. Make sure you use the HB tape. It is a little expensive, but has a lot of uses. A good investment for the house or the car.

Altman is spot-on. This stuff really isn't all that sticky. If you're taping something on the outside of the vehicle, forget this stuff (won't last). Inside - you might be okay, but be prepared to occasionally replace the tape. Also, as with any adhesive, there may be long-term damage to plastic surfaces if the conditions are just right. If you're in a place like Phoenix with high temps, the heat may cause a chemical reaction between the adhesive and the plastic surface it touches. Of course, that's if exposed for some time, and it doesn't happen over night. Use caution and good luck!

If the side rail caps are just trim pieces on your ride and They don't hold down a bed lid and you don't lash anything to themWhen helping a friend move they will be fine. If you use the rails for anything the tape won't hold.

I used the velcro tape. I didnt want to have any holes in my floor. My truck is older so I didnt want to chance it.

The cover rests on about two inches or so on the lip around the bed of the pickup. There are also four clamps which attach under the lip, two on each side. If the rails are in this area then the cover will not work for you. Also the bedliner (assuming it is an insert) may prevent you from attaching the clamps unless there are holes already in the liner or made by you which would allow the clamps to attach. The biggest problem may be the rails. The width of my frame is just a hair over 58 1/2" inches and completely covers the stake holes on the lip of the bed. The leather look fabric just hangs over this to cover the frame. Hope this helps.

I really like this liner but I would not recommend it for wrapping the front edge of a shelf. It is a thicker texture and not really made for sharp edge bending. I think you would need to use a liner that is closer to the thickness of paper to wrap the edge. But it is a durable, strong liner that will protect the shelves.

I'm assuming that you're wanting to repair an old rusted muffler and I think that this tape is designed to protect components from heat and not for repair. I have used it on the plastic belly pans on several snowmobiles that I have been rebuilding to reduce potential of heat damage from the exhaust. The tape is a foil with an adhesive backing and is used to reflect the radiant heat away from whatever you want to protect. I can't imagine that it would provide any appreciable amount of strength and the surface that you're applying it to needs to be clean and free from any oils or grease.

I have the Smart Solutions Guard. I mounted it to the front bottom of the 4 inch bumper. I didn't have to worry about notching out for a hitch. I mounted this using C-clamps to hold the angle iron while drilling, but is difficult doing this by yourself, so two people would be better. The guard has a slight tendency to slope back after going down the road. Once I had to dry camp and I was assigned a grass pad on a slope, which put the guard almost to a horizontal position, so I had to manually bend the rubber guard pieces back to a vertical position when I got ready to leave. As after thought I would have looked at the type with the strings of plastic hanging that you see on coaches. I have the Smart Solutions Guard. I mounted it to the front bottom of the 4 inch bumper.

No you shouldn't have to. It clamps to the lip of the side of the truck bed.

top part I can attach to my bed rail system.. I can put it in any place in the bed with one catch.. hooks for the bottom.. I use heavy duty magnets with hooks to hold mine in place at the bottom.. I'm not holding much .. just trying to keep a few things sliding all the way to the front of the truck.. my bed is covered too..

First, do you have a bed liner in your truck? I do and I had this issue. I cut out enough area to make it drop all the way down and it works great. I really like my hitch extender.

Yes it can. I have those tracks in my truck. The only trick is that they provide 3 clamps per side. It is easy to attach the ones that that go on the ends and thus is good enough to secure your bed cover. You may not want the third/middle clamp. If you want to install the middle clamp you may need to loosen the bolts that secure the track. The entire install took me less that an hour, by myself in my driveway.
