3M™ Multi-Purpose Reclosable Fasteners make an excellent alternative in addition to screws, nuts, bolts, snaps, clasps, welds, VHB tapes and glues when attaching materials in automobiles. Fasteners engage simply by applying light pressure so that the hundreds of tiny mushroom-shaped steps interlock with one another. If you want to remove the component being installed with these fasteners, simply pull them apart. 3M technology allows for multiple openings and closings without affecting the integrity of the fasteners. These fasteners provide reliable performance in hot, cold, wet, sunny and other difficult environments.

Typical Vehicular Uses for 3M™ Multi-Purpose Fasteners include:

Installing cell phone holders, cup holders and toll pass holders

Fastening headliners and ceiling panels in over-the-road truck cabs, buses, ambulances and recreational vehicles

Hanging ceiling light diffusion panels in light rail cars and buses

Hanging equipment on ambulance walls

Securing removable seat covers and cushions in vehicles

Attaching door and wall panels in vehicles

Suspending privacy curtains in truck cabs

Attaching decorative liner to interior SUV cargo areas

Attaching ceiling, wall and cushioning panels in cargo and horse trailers

3M™ Multi-Purpose Reclosable Fasteners offer both aesthetic and functional advantages over traditional fasteners and attachment methods. The fasteners also maintain the surface integrity with no holes to invite moisture, corrosion or dirt into the body.

Time and labor saving is another benefit of using 3M™ reclosable fasteners, which require no drilling, screwing, tightening, or sewing. If components or materials require adjustment, it's easy to separate the fastener, adjust positioning and then reattach.

Versatile fasteners come with a pressure sensitive adhesive that may be applied at temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The fasteners are not recommended for surfaces such as car mufflers that can exceed 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
