What adhesive tape to use for fly-bridge seat back panels?

[EugeneR]

I recently removed the seat back panels on our fly-bridge and am now looking for the tape / material to re-attach them.

It was attached with 25mm and 50mm strips of mushroom-headed tape, similar in appearance to 3M dual lock tape but I am not sure exactly which type it was.

It seems that 3M dual lock is pretty expensive at £500 for 25m (need to buy both sides), so want to make sure I am buying the right thing here... right adhesive, strength 250/400, etc. Of course, don't want the panels to come in high wind and/or at 25+ knots but equally don't want to spend £100's when I don't need to.

The back-rest panels are similar to the ones below (including ones partially included on the left and right):



Options for 3M are here: www.vikingtapes.co.uk/dual-lock-rolls.

Any advice / experience greatly appreciated.

(I don't need 25m, probably 10m or so)

stick on velcro??

My impression is that velcro would not be strong enough. The stuff that was on there required all my strength to remove it, and I did not even feel the extra effort to pull out some screws from the GRP by accident as well.

Hopefully someone knows what stuff they use at the factory, maybe?

It sounds like what was originally used was somewhat overkill

You can get dual lock quite cheaply in eBay.

Well, certainly a lot less than £500 and in smaller lengths than 25m
