Two issues ....some thin double sided tape and wiper cables

Featured Replies

Dear all

Need some info.

Twice now I've used some double sided waterproof tape for the offside rear arch moulding on my allroad but still sits too proud with 2mm thickness and comes away slightly below the filler cap and want to know where I can buy maybe thickness of 1mm for the tape.

Also I bought a rear wiper motor from Germany but the kit is missing the 4 wire harness oval to straight edged press connectors and was wondering where to get one in the UK?

Car is a 2013 audi allroad 

Thanks

Spoke to them they don't have it..part being sent over from Germany.

Any car mounting tape, then you're into 3M specific products, using a foam backed compressible tape. Surfaces needs to be spotless, and clean bodywork and the plastic trim with alcohol wipe.

Thanks yes I've used 3 m but I think it was too thick IE 2 mm and it needs to be thinner hard to locate a thinner tape.  The moulding sits 1 mm proud for diesel to drip into.

Hello Dan,

Strange the moulding attachment is via. double sided tape (only?) rather than plastic fixings. 
I would expect 2mm thick to be much rarer, but have you tried an EBay search.

If this tape is an original fitting then I would expect Audi to have a part number for it, unless it comes as part of the replacement moulding. If so, that may be your guaranteed route. 
Another possible source may be calling in to a localish bodyshop and discussing your ‘want’ with them, and seeing it they can help. 
Regards,

Gareth.

Thanks Gareth

Audi parts did say they have some tape that i can try..I'll pop over there later ..my brother works on car bodywork repairs and mentioned maybe using a bond if it fails again but id rather use the tape ...I'll let you know how it goes..cars getting older now..already changed the compressor and air bag ..the actual relay sent with the new compressor was terrible.

Also need to change one of the rear shock cover/bump stops. That cant be too difficult..
