Default Double sided tape source recommendation

Found my center brake light black out on the ground today. This Florida heat must have got to it. Any recommendation of sourcing some double sided tape to reapply the black out. I’m afraid if this fell off, the back up lights will soon fall off.

3M VHB is what you want for automotive trim. Should be able to find it at auto paint supply shops.

I’ll have to wait until the hurricane passes. Home Depot one of the last places I want to go at the present time!

I hear you. Stopped for gas on the way home -- found a place that still had some -- and found two 24 packs of water on the shelf. A tad high at $6.50, but it was a target of opportunity so I bought both. Let the panic buying begin!
