Applying Type-J strikes

Quick question, how much tape?

There's an indention on the backside of the strikes, is that all the tape I need or should I basically cover the entire backside? Thanks.

I just used what tape was with it and everything held up. Just to let you know if you have the type J sides as well (wich im pretty sure you do cos why would you just be putting on the strikes) that tape didn't hold up for me. What i did was drill our about 1/4 of an inch on the side of the skirts and put 4 screws in then put polyurethane covering in there to hide it. So the sides aren't goin anywhere now but underneath there would be four holes from the screws if you ever decided to take off the skirts. I think they look great so they arn't commin off anytime soon for me. Good luck and hoped that helped.

the tape didn't hold for me, on the striker or on the back side of the skirt. So i got some fusor 142 and molded those bit(hes in. They are not moving now, and all i have left to do is sand down a little bit more of the filler and im done. Make sure you get the grey molding tape, not the white double sided tape.

Go out and buy some of the really good 3M tape they sell at Automotive paint stores. The stuff that comes with the kit is kinda sketchy, and def. won't hold up on the skirts themselves.

The tape that came on mine held just fine for me through rain and hot weather. But after taking them off for paint I used 3m tape and its holding just as good.
