This selection chart is intended as an initial guide for obtaining the appropriate 3M™ Weatherstrip Attachment Tape for general applications. Since applications vary with materials, stress, procedures, environmental exposures, etc., it is important to determine through testing the most suitable 3M weatherstrip attachment tape for the specific application. This chart cannot take into account every variable for each application. Please consult with your 3M Automotive Division representative for further help and information.
