Default Wald trunk with 3M?

How would you guys suggest mounting a Wald trunk? This would only be for a few months. I plan on getting it molded in the summer, but for now, I just want it mounted. :P

3M or would you guys go another route? If I was gonna do 3M, I'd go ham with the 3M. Haha, not gonna have someone rip my trunk lip off. :3

Steven...wait to mold it or use some type of epoxy. I'd hate for it to get stolen! I hate 3M for stuff.

I used 3m tape and nothing has happened to me . But to each it's own. Gonna get mine molded also. But been just mounted on for almost a year now and it's pretty solid. Not just gonna be a easy ****** and grab job. It's goon take a minute to get it off...and my car stays in the garage plus my insurance is only 100 dollar deductible ...so no worries

I would wait... At least you would have price of mind. If you mount that with 3M, you wont even be able to go to the market without thinking, "am I going to get jacked today?"

Soooo I just couldn't resist. LOL. I tried it with 3M.

It would NOT budge at all. I flossed and heated the 3M and worked for 3 hours to get it off since I was just test fitting it. About to go install it in a bit.

I'm pretty sure 3M should be okay for now!
