Title: 3m tape for GT quarter window Post by: UrbanFusion on September 02, 2010, 12:21:27 pm Hi all i jusy got my replacement GT quarter windows, only problem im having now is tracking down the special 3m acrylic foam tape - Y-4225. Ive been to a number of suppliers in ottawa trying to track this down. The closest i found was the tape for the non-gt sails which is onle 1.3mm thick. The stuff i need is white and 3mm thick. Anyone know where i could find this short of ordering online? Also, the 3m cleaner 08984, could be useful for getting the old residue off as well. The last thing i want is for these windows to go airborne! Thanks all!

Of course the Tape has let go in one spot but the bulldog is holding strong :) Title: Re: 3m tape for GT quarter window Post by: UrbanFusion on September 07, 2010, 02:11:28 pm Hey all, thanks for your tips! Im still on the fence about which direction to go. Im now wondering if actual windshied adhesive would work in this application? Anyone know if this might work? Not sure how it would work with the acrylic as opposed to glass. Thoughts? Thanks again!

Don't forget to re-install the 60lb test (use new) so you can pull out the 1/4 window next time you need to. . |
