3" aluminum molding.... we're not talking about a Supra then. What is this mounting to and is it bare aluminum or painted or powder coated? How did you prep the two surfaces before trying the 3M tape and what type/grade of tape was it? There are many different 3M double stick tapes and a few different automotive tapes.

Female, yes, but not mid-60s in Cherry Creek....... mid-30s in Aurora. Possible you havn't seen me because I spend way too much time in my garage! I molest old bikes, spent this whole summer restoring and converting a 79 yama xs650 to a cafe racer. But that's a whole other forum....
Anyway, it most certainly is a supra, lol. 87 supra, 7m-GTE turbo, pearl white, in spectacular condition - although mechanically needs some tweaking. I tried to attach a photo, hopefully it attached.
Beneath the molding it's a painted surface, cleaned it with an all-purpose cleaning product but then wiped it down with rubbing alcohol. Don't have the tape in front of me but bought it at an auto parts store, pkg said it was for trim/molding etc. Think I'm going to try again, maybe didn't get the back of the molding clean enough. It's hard to get to that part without pulling molding off more.
