ISSUE:
Poor adhesion of aftermarket vinyl tape stripes may be caused by the paint on the vehicle reacting with the type of adhesive used on the vinyl
tape stripe.
ACTION:
To prevent vinyl tape stripe adhesion concerns, Ford recommends the use of a vinyl tape stripe with a more aggressive adhesive
applied to the backside of the stripe. The improved vinyl tape stripe material can be purchased directly from one of the Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) listed on page 02 of this TSB.
