Hi Eric,

Have you tried 3M automotive tape?  It=E2=80=99s very sticky, heat resistan=
t (e.g.,
hold hot trim in the sun) and it is not prone to separating (like layers of
foam tape).  I have a role here if you are interested in trying it.  I=E2=
=80=99m in
New Hope, not far from you.

3M Super Strength Molding Tape, 03609, 1/2 in x 5 ft

Best,
Ian
