Will the adhesive hold up in a drive thru type carwash that sprays water on the undercarriage of the vehicle?

If you sand and seal the edges expect 2-3 years I ran one on my Buick and never had an issue. I just installed a 100 watt on the oil pan of my f350 and expect it will be just fine. I run them with my block heater on a 3 hour timer and at zero degrees am seeing 60 degree oil on starting. Will do further testing when the second pad gets installed on my transmission pan. I use a DA sander prior to installing. Dry and clean are critical but it is a 3M adhesive. No worries.

Make sure you put High temp silicon sealant around all the edges and it should have no problems surviving a car wash. I had to replace one of mine due to the plug getting ripped off. I had a hard time getting it free from the oil pan.

Yes. I noticed a few drops of water had gotten in. I've only run it through a car wash once though.

Depends on the texture of the dash. The adhesive didn't stick at all to one car. If it does stick, use some orange oil to remove any residual adhesive.

no and this product looses its sticky power much too quickly. the carwash attendant took it off to wipe the dash and it's never been the same since.

I would say no... it gets kind of sticky. For car weather stripping I would go to the auto parts store and see what the have.

Can only go through a touchless car wash. Let me know how the glue less install works out.

Mine seems to be holding up fine after several carwashes. Though I generally take mine through an automatic carwash rather than handwash mine.

We used this material in a high pressure car wash. It bonded to fiberglass, metal and other materials. Once it's cured it seems to be working very well. Definelty the best product I have seen for wet areas.

yes, it has made it through multiple car washes @ home or @ the drive thru variety of car washes. : )

Not sure as it is not strong as an adhesive and stays liquid and does not fully harden.

I only used it on concrete. Sorry, I cannot help. If your car has surface rust, then it might be OK to try anyway as it seems that you might be needing a paint job soon.If you have surface rust, then you have rust under as well.

Sure.....in clear? Only issue might be the wear and tear on the hard tape line??? So when washing or waxing the car that tape line where the dip ends...just my 2 cents....worst case peel and re-spray

I repaired a wet washer fluid reservoir, and refilled the tank five minutes after the bond set, it has not leaked since. I believe it would cure and withstand relatively well. Also, the key portion of an ignition key/key fob combo broke off for my Ram. I glued the key insert back into the FOB and have used it to start the truck numerous times every day, so it withstands torque very well.

I used 3M brand High Temp spray adhesive on my RV engine compartment with the foil side facing down. This will assure a good bond under extreme heat and vibrations.

Hi Larry. The way this is designed I can't possibly see how a car wash could hurt it. It bolts to the underside of the front crossbar and actually sits tight against it while providing adequate height to make the license plate visible. I actually used a license plate holder so the top of the plate is supported by the plate holder with the bottom holes of the plate and plate holder attached to Westin plate relocator. It is working extremely well!

It has worked fine for me in a car application. Just make sure it doesn't get wet or moisture.

I have not had any issues on this. Only one time the adhesive didn't stick but it was the dead of winter and bitter cold out. That was for one side as well. I have had many car washes as well and I had no issues. Make sure you clean the mirror with alcohol as instructed.
