Question for C5 owners who have installed WCC ZO6 screens
My first impression after doing a "dry run" of inserting the screens in the openings to see how they would look, is that there's not enough tape to hold the units in tightly and evenly....
Before I start "over engineering" this simple installation,
........I'd sure like some feedback from members who have already installed the screens! Is more tape actually needed??
IF you went beyond the supplied tape, what'd you do and how?
Thanks for any feedback.....

Use Velcro
Throw the tape away.
Go to Wal Mart and get the Industrial Strength Velcro.
I know there is a write up in the tech section.
I stuck the loop side to the car first.
Then used some wax paper in between the two velcor parts
Lined up and puled the paper out.
They will be there until you are ready to take them off.
Hope this helps.

I used the industrial strength velcro also. They've been on for almost 3 years now.

One side is called the loop side ( rough )
The other is soft and fuzzy.
Both sides has a stick glue, when applied you can't get it off.
So the loop is stock to the car.
The fuzzy side to the screens.
Does that make sense ?

Instead of stick I meant sticky.
And the loop is stuck to the car. ( not stock.
Still at work, Sorry

Now I understand!!! I was thinking you were using the word "loop" to refer to a area/spot inside the front driving light opening where you attached the velcro!!
One last question: Did you attach your velcro strips only in the same locations as the original 3M tape, or did you add pieces to the top and other side that were bare??
Many thanks for all your help!!
