: The "Gorilla Grip" brand tape is amazing for outdoor use. I ended

: season that the tape peeled up the remaining paint underneath when I took
: it off!
: I always keep a small roll behind by seat.

Hi Rich,

Cool, have to search for that stuff, thanks :)

Actually, so far with my covering method, I've not seen any problems at all with wear or damage. But better safe than sorry.
