I am concerned with the temperature swings of the inside of a vehicle and was wondering how the 3M adhesive would hold up.

I was concerned about the temperature also & also whether the adhesive would hold up when I went over bumps in the road, especially with a larger phone. I've had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I was involved in a collision, and then my car was towed & in a body shop in the heat for 7 weeks, and the phone holder is still in place! I consider it well worth the price!

I live on the northeast and since I've owned it it's dropped below zero as well as gone above one hundred. No problem

It works great. Mine is attached to the side of the dash and have no problems in this 110 degree summer.

I would recommend weather sealing it first. It should hold up fine. But I'm in the hot desert. So I would find some clearciat spray and spray it. It should do just fine then. It is great quality

I'm unsure of how much heat it can withstand. You can layer it it's pretty sticky.

Very easy to install, especially if you have an extra pair of hands helping you. Also, try to do it when it's above 70 degrees F, you' ll get better adhesion.

Thanks for the reply. Worked GREAT in the application...now we will see how it stands-up to the summer interior heat of the car.

I really can't say definitively , but I use it mostly to put heat sinks on chips for RC airplane electronics . I have not experienced those temperatures , maybe the vibration issue . I can tell you this stuff holds like a clamp , and it seems the whole part will break before this Thermal Adhesive will come loose . It says it bonds permanently , and I believe it ! I f you try it make sure to clamp the pieces together !

I havent had the opportunity to use it in temps that low. I do, however, suspect it will be susceptible to water and ice, as it does attach to the license plate frame and will be out in all kinds of weather. So far it has done what I wanted it to do. I did wrap all connections in electrical tape, as I think moisture will be its main enemy.

3m makes a product that is made for your application. Amazon carries it as 3m 05601. It is an add on item for $4.47. This will allow you to better place the adhesive where it is needed. Works great, and I think you will be happy with the results. The item you asked about is more for large areas, such as headliners, dash covers, etc.

I think it really depends on the quality of your seating material. In my Ford Focus ST, I have not had a problem with sticking/melting yet. Just completed a Colorado summer, including several weeks of near-record heat.

It just started to get hot here in Maryland, but it seems to be holding up good so far. I've used 3M products before and they've all been high quality. I don't see this product being any different from those.

I haven't used it on the interior door seals during the winter...I will tell you a little trick that does work pretty good though - plain old petroleum jelly. Unless it gets super cold, petro jelly works pretty good to keep interior seals from sticking in winter. I use the Gummi Pflege on my exterior window seals and it works great if you work it in. Other protective sprays didn't provide me with an even coat on my car. A lot of the newer cars have went to more of a rubber/silicone compound that is supposed to last longer and not dry out as much - I prefer good ole' fashioned rubber seals. The new stuff seems to be affected more by pollutants in wash water and rain water.

I don't know the melting point but I would say with good confidence that it would work fine without the heat causing it to lose adhesion. It is designed to go inside car doors and against the firewall. Both places get pretty hot and maybe even hotter than the car's ceiling (I assume you meant inside the vehicle on the ceiling under whatever material).

The application I used it for did not involve heat, so I can't answer based on any real world information. If I were to guess, the inside temperature of a car in summer is probably not going to melt it.

I used the adhesive in the marine industry, carpet , vinyl , that are exposed to water often with no problems , not sure if it would hold up with constant water contact but it would be a great product to try , like most 3M stuff it works well

I don't know. I would suggest going to 3M site to get answer. However, adhesion is excellent.

Its sticky...ive never used 3m but this stuff sticks really well.its only been in a couple months so I cant tell you how durable it is,but it sticks really well. I hope this helps

Depends on where you live. In a hot day in Southern California, your mount is guaranteed to drop. The sticker will remain on the windshield. The bond with the windshield isn't the problem. The problem lies in the mount itself. The sticker does not stay bonded to the mounting plate in excessive heat. It uses 3M double sided sticker and even 3M's fine print will tell you that adhesion could be lost if temperature is above 105 degrees. It gets much hotter than that inside a car in a hot day in California. I'm still keeping mine. But I've modified it, so I don't use the windshield.
