Radio Shack sells a type of velcro that doesn't use the hooks on one side and the fabric on the other....it's a clear plasticky-feeling stuff that has "hooks" on both sides and the adhesive it super-duty. I used it once to attach a radar detector to a dashboard on a car and the part that I put on that dashboard is still attached. And when the two halves are pressed together they stay together. Likely it would work very well for your intended application.

I think this is it but As I recall the ones I bought were actually clear and had no color to them at all - but possibly the red seen in this pic is the tape you peel off to expose the adhesive..

Cool - glad you found 'em. It is heavy duty stuff, for real. Probably the strongest velcro I have ever used. Hope it works for your needs. Looking forward to the pix //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

no, actually bought them from an online tint shop type thing, its calles Vanhorn Tint and accessories.

Very reasonable prices on most of their stuff, the neons were streetglow I believe
