Default Jp curtains

Hey i know a few of you have the jp cutrains i have a problem with mines not sticking and keeps falling off these 3m tape sucks. Since it is cold here in WA i heated it up with a heat gun before i attached it to the car but it still no good. What cheap 3m tape. I would like to see what you guys come up with as a fix for it. I am gonna get some really strong sticky from work here that we use for security devices for phone and see if they hold up better than the 3m.

It is probably not the tape that is the issue. Try using an adhesion promoter such as this http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...beS5CLPZH3PDgl

My god bro, today I recieved the Bellezza Curtains today from the USPS.. I opened the box and start looking at the pics shown DIY.. The 3m tapes look wack.. I dont think it will hold on the upper window panel area.. I put them on the upper corner window door panel because when I close the door, the upper plastic curtain part sit on the corner and they dont fall off.. I knew it what weesped said.. I said myself, it could be a screw to hold them without any trouble.. I would just do my own way without follow their instruction because what the other way beside screw.. Oh by the way the upper plastic curtain part, I cut about 3/4 because they are too long and I have a hard time bend the part.. FORGET IT.. LOL!!!

The small is way too long for our cars. IMO it looks retarded cause it bunches up.

Thanks,
