Installing a VG....have a ?????

I ordered a vortex generator from Speed Element a few days ago and it's going to arrive tomorrow. I found a good thread here with a great install video but I'm not sure if I have the right double sided tape for the install. I saw 3m VHB double sided tape and was wondering if that was the right one to use. If not please let me know which is the correct one. I don't want it to fly off my roof while I'm on the highway

Thanks guys!

Surprised the VG did not come w/ the tape already installed. My poor mans EBay VG came w/ it ($30). Anyways, IMO 3M VHB should work well (VHB stands for Very High Bond in case you didnt know)
Just make sure you prep the surface properly, removing any wax before applying

Thanks for the reply!
I ended up using loctite double sided tape because thats all I could find locally. This stuff seems to hold super strong. Install was very simple and it only took me 15 min to install, fitment was perfect.

I picked up 3M autobody tape. It says something like superduty or heavy duty on the package. Follow the instructions on cleaning and preping and that baby wont budge.
