HiAnyone else have trouble getting the badges to stick? My bottom one wouldn’t adhere at all and now not sure how to get it on.
same here. both of my top and bottom side don't stick very well. My bottom piece keeps falling off.....Anyone else have trouble getting the badges to stick? My bottom one wouldn’t adhere at all and now not sure how to get it on.

Yes thats exactly what I did. I used alcohol to clean the surface before applying but still no luck. As soon as I peel off the cover tape I can tell that it's not very sticky. I thought it might be too cold (I'm in canada) so I even preheated the tape. Anyways, I'll try to get some new 3M tape and see.I would recommend cleaning the surface with rubbing alcohol before applying the 3M tape. If still having issues get some new 3M tape and re-apply to a cleaned surface. We have yet to hear of any issues so may be a dirty contact surface.
That does make sense, maybe Rexpeed can chime back in on whether that is how the fitment should be. I would like to think that maybe it was a crap strip of 3M!Yes thats exactly what I did.

The other thing is that my bottom piece seems to be slightly too big to fit in there. I had to push it really hard to squeeze it in, but the adhesive is not strong enough to hold it in place...if that makes any sense to you..
I heated the tape before installing and my garage is heated to 22ºC.For those having issue with adhesion what ambient temp are you installing these at?...
The ideal application temperature range is 70ºF to 100ºF (21ºC to 38ºC) for 3M VHB tape...
I've had mine installed for a few months now and no issues with adhesion...but then again temps were in mid 70's when I installed mine....
"After application, the bond strength will increase. At room temperature approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength will be achieved after 20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours and 100% after 72 hours."I heated the tape before installing and my garage is heated to 22ºC.
Hi Mooner,I heated the tape before installing and my garage is heated to 22ºC.
