Window shade magnetic strips

Most of the magnetic strips have come loose on our new style cab window shades. We just love these shades and would not part with them.
I have put crazy glue on them and put them back in place!
ANY BETTER IDEAS

Double sided automotive emblem tape. Make sure you clean the area with rubbing alcohol and let dry.

We have the same issue with ours. I tried double sided tape but results are mixed. Wish the magnetic strips were a bit stronger. Went to the Remis website to locate replacements but it's like searching for the Holy Grail.

I think 3m makes an automotive adhesive for trim.

Exactly, it will work great if one fully cleans off the old adhesive and uses isopropyl alcohol to clean both surfaces.
Metal and magnetic strips should create a good bond with the tape.

It’s the same stuff used to put those weathertech window deflectors on.

Those some to us in kits from Remis....I don't think that part is anything that we are installing, but I will double check that.

I had the same shade in my Winnebago View, and had the same problem. I use a 2 part epoxy adhesive to stick them back into place. Never had a problem after that.

Remis Shade Magnets

Had the same problem on ours.

Used Weldwood Contact Cement to re-attach.

Coat magnets, let dry to "tacky" condition, re-apply.

Works fine, fixed it once, no more problems.

Yeah it is. I purchased that option on my Isata 3RW. Very nice shades, and convenient.

Remis is a european company and I don't think they have any Fords over there. Just Sprinters and Fiat's.

Magnetic tape with adhesive is available at your local Ace Hardware, Big Box stores and Amazon.
