needed: experts in sticky stuff

Now that I have all you adhesive experts here I need the general consesnsus on whats best to attach metal to glass. I've had a set of louvers taken off my car to be repaitned, but I can't get them to stick at all! I've tried body moulding tape, liquid moulding glue, and a couple other things. I'm thinking either maybe urethane paste or something like jb weld....or 800 packets of rearview mirror adhesive Whatever it is it must be able to withstand the heat and cold a car will, plus interstate speeds Rremovable is a plus....but if I have to sacrifice it for them to stick I will!

experts in sticky stuff sounds pretty bad, sorry but i don't know the answer to your question though.

Do a search for Louvers on the internet and find a company that sells them. They will have the proper attachment. The louvers that I have installed on various cars, attached with clips under the rear window moulding. Glue? I have never heard of glueing the louvers. I will say that I did see one person who stole a louver from another car and tried to find a way to attach it since he didn't have the original mounting hardware.

Well zapster, the way they work is that you have 4 metal pads. The top two are hinged and I need to glue back to the glass, after that you screw the louvers to them. The lower two were never removed

Nate: it is a topic that catches your eye isn't it?
