3M sells "super strength molding tape"

this shit was like super easy to google.
"hey google, what's the strongest 3M automotive tape?"

"OP, we've found these results just for you...."

It's called 3M VHB and they make an astonishing number of variations of it. They sell some pre-packaged version of it at Autozone and places like that to trim and emblems and such.

If you're looking for some type of permanency, use any of their double sided tapes after applying adhesive promoter wipes to the surface of the body. It'll never come off unless using a blade or fishing line to cut through the double sided tape.
