I bought 3M Automotive Attachment Tape Part No. 06381. Its the exact tape they use on the aluminum door sills. Specifically made for body side bolding, cladding, rocker panel trim and exterior trim parts.

it was like $32 for 20 yards of 7/8 in x 0.45 in ... a bit steep.

20 yards is way too much.. if you lived closer to DC I'd tell you to come by and I'd tear you off a piece :-/

Is 3M automotive even good for the exterior?? I need an adhesive to hold through winter and rain.
