Hey Bruce.

Was the 3M product  #80119 weather adhesive?

FWIW, I found this product at North Shore Auto Parts less than a year ago.

Whatever you use, consider that when you (or next owner), has to do
the job again, you want something that isn't *really* difficult to
remove for surface prep.

Neil.
