Interior adhesive question...
Unlike most of you, I'm a bit of a freak about the appearance of my Audi (ha ha). So freakish am I, that I didn't like the look of a gigantic white EZ-PASS frisbee/beacon on the interior windshield. So, before installing it, I painted it black - and replaced the provided white/clear velcro-looking stuff, with genuine black Velcro.
Only, now it appears I was too-freakish by half. The black velcro can't handle the DC heat and it won't stay stuck - leaving a nasty gooey mess. Same goes for the Speedpass device I've got in the rear window.
Does anyone here have a solution? I need something that'll stick to painted plastic on one side, glass on the other, and be removable...basically, I need black velcro that actually works...is there a specific brand or "type" I should look for?
Thanks, L.

??? Removable ultimatly or repeatedly. I can provide you with some VeryHighBond acrylic tape in
black that will come off when selling, but would not work for on/off application. Shoot me an email.

You need to be able to remove it....I've replaced two already....there is a high heat velcro, but...
what's wrong with the milky velcro pieces they provide I wonder? I'm pretty fussy and didn't object to that. I know some folks hold it up to the windsheld when going through the toll so they don't have to mount it.
