Auto Glass Retention Tape

Patco 5540 Removable Auto Glass Retention Tape is a clear acrylic adhesive tape designed for windshield and auto glass replacement or installation. It also serves as corner protection during transport and storage. The roll measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 36 yards long.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The acrylic adhesive delivers abrasion and moisture resistance that holds firm across temperature swings and vibration once the glass is set. It remains removable without leaving residue when the job is finished. The 65 mil thickness supports consistent performance through the full service interval.

Pre Order Checks

Confirm the 1-1/2 inch width matches the channel or flange on your specific glass unit. Verify that a clear tape is acceptable for the vehicle interior or exterior visibility requirements. Note the California Proposition 65 warning for DEHP exposure before handling.

Questions about this item

Does the FindTape 5540 tape leave residue on glass after long exposure to heat and sunlight?

The acrylic adhesive is designed for removable auto glass retention, providing abrasion and moisture resistance while releasing cleanly from windshields and side windows after installation or transport.

What surface preparation is needed before applying this retention tape to a windshield?

Clean the glass with isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated glass cleaner to remove oils, dust and old adhesive; the tape bonds best to a dry, lint-free surface.

Can the 5540 tape be used on older vehicles with chrome or painted window trim without damaging the finish?

The removable acrylic adhesive is formulated for glass contact; test a small hidden area first, as aged paint or chrome may react differently than modern clear-coat surfaces.
