Default 3M tape?

I'm going to install some louvers today. They are put on by 3M tape. So I'm looking online at autozone and see they have 3M tape for only $2.99. Is that the right tape? It seems cheap. I just don't want to get the wrong tape and put my louvers on then find out one or both flew off going down the highway.

This is where I would be thinking to myself. Why did i buy these expensive plastic non functional louvers in the first place.

Sorry i couldnt help myself but i have no idea if its the right kind or not.

3M double sided tape automotive tape sticks pretty damn strong. I'm surprised your louvers didn't ship w/ tape already on them?

But, yeah get that and clean/prep both surfaces very well and also know that it takes ~24 hours for the tape tu cure (not supposed to drive it while it's curing).

Good luck and have fun!

Thanks for the help guys. Got the 3M tape from autozone. Put the louvers on with no problems. I made sure to clean both the louvers and windows and wiped with rubbing alcohol before applying the tape. Will put up pics soon but my car is very dirty and I can't or don't want to wash my car for atleast 24 hours so I don't screw with the adhesive of the 3M tape.
