I installed some of this Willwood louvers on my Dodge. The Velcro pads that came with the louvers are not thick enough.

I ended up stacking some of that 3M gray adhesive tape on both sides of the Velcro to build it up.

So far so good.

Looks good! A couple of quick questions; are there multiple adhesive pads on each side? The one in the picture is a bit on the small side for prolonged reliability. Did you think to clean off the glass and plastic with alcohol before installing the double-sided adhesive tape?
