Double-sided Tape

Anyone recommend any that will stick well to plastic, but which could be removed if needs be and not leave any marks?

The self-adhesive clips for the BMW sunblinds in the 3 can't cope with the recent warm weather so keep coming unstuck.

3M stuff is normally very good. You need to clean and degrease the surfaces you stick it to meticulously though.

Although I am sure self-tappers are better

Ta muchly ste.

Yeah I was fairly meticulous with the application of the clips, but to no avail. Fairly schit if they can't cope with the relatively mild warm weather that we get over here.

i have always used PE Foam tape (different thickness are available), the foam stops trim rattles, it seams to be able to hold reasonable weights even stuck to the underside, its moderately easy to remove by rolling it up with a little friction, its been holding up my hue light strips and transformers to the underside of a shelf since october with no issues and held the led strips on the back of my old plasma tv for nearly 5 years with no sign of degraded performance

3M VHB tape. It usually comes in big rolls or sheets but there are ebay sellers that do smaller pieces for a few quid posted. Sticks ridiculously well but easy enough to cut through the foam layer and peel away if needed.
