What kind of tape is this?

[TylerW]

Found in all my Abodies in only two places: sealing the bottom of the inner door seals to the doors, and wrapped around the AC vacuum harness in tight spots. It's not vinyl, it's adhesive so it's not the non-adhesive harness tape everyone keeps asking about. 2 inches wide. Thanks.

Looks like black duct tape.

To me it looks like a black masking tape. The stuff on my 67 was still stuck in places BUT most looked like the glue had dried out.

The reason it is there?

My guess is it is there to hold the plastic in place till the door card gets put on. It might be a bit water proof?

In todays world it would be called flocking tape or mounting tape. Used for squeaks, rattles and to temporary hold things together in for installations .....

The flocking tape is on the dam tour outside of vegas.

It's also used on the steering column to hold the plastic wiring cover in place, at least on B bodies. Torn in thinner strips...

Shurtape is what David Patik was supplying with the vapour barrier kits and it's was damn close.

What I found in the doors looked like basic yellow paper masking tape painted flat black so thats what I used to replace it.
