Once it becomes bonded, first with pressure and then heat and time, it is practically welded. Something like piano wire may be your friend to cut through the tape's adhesive and foam center portion if/when you want to remove it.

Fish line works good as well.

Aren't the only drill holes on the bottom of the car? If so, I doubt it would be noticed on a lease return assuming the holes were drilled clean.
