Good tape for attaching silly plastic bars to glass

[dnb]

The UPVC windows in my old house used to have those silly plastic bars stuck to the surface of the glass. Over the last few years they have just about all dropped off so now I have a utility room cupboard full of the damned things and they are getting in the way. I would like to replace them in the near future but the tape I had when the windows were new is now a bit crispy at the edges and less sticky than it was so I am looking for a recomendation as to which tapes will work both inside and outside (if there is a difference) for a reasonable length of time and are not absurdly priced such that the house looks tidy for whatever I decide to do with it when the new house is finished. (It may therefore be required to last for a long time at current progress rate!)

 

Thanks

3M VHB trim tape as used for side mouldings and the like on cars. Not the cheapest, but guaranteed to work.

These guys are good for a lot of window related stuff

Searching for “astragal bar tape” seems to yield a lot of good results.

Yes, that's the name of the pestiferous things. I couldn't remember at all.

 

Thanks both. The 3M tape doesn't look too badly priced.
