Will not stay taped down
The corners will not stay attached because the corners come with masking tape covering the 3m tape. Instead of the red backing which is normally on the 3m automotive tape GTS put regular masking tape on all of the corners which sticks to the 3m tape and you really have to rip it off. That also mean that the 3m tape on the corners do not have the original strength or stickiness that they should. I tried installing them anyway but the corners will not stay stuck. I installed them in a dry warm garage and prepped the car properly so it would stick fine. I also waited 2 days before I took it out of the garage but from the time of install they wouldn't stick. I have installed many vent shades and other accessories that attach with 3m tape but I have never seen one come with masking tape and never seen any not stick properly. The first set I received one of them was completely cloudy and had some scratches in it which looked like it was just molded improperly. The first set also had masking tape on the corners. I have tried contacting GTS about this but it is almost impossible to contact them so I will be returning these via amazon and purchasing a similar product from another vendor. I did like how you could see through it and since my car is black seeing the paint color through it wasn't an issue but having it not stick to the car was a major issue.
