right but duct tape is a vital part of the repair process, and should therefore be given tribute by covering the glue/plastic (what does that even mean? plastic what? :rofl), and being seen by all.

No the duct tape will look bad and stand out, so you cover it up with some misc. plastic pieces and the glue is for extra hold…

Duct tape is strong, flexible, and quite sexual. Do not undermine duct tape please.

(ps, i have a new addition to the Sentra, you’re going to :rofl when you see it :rofl)

and I agree with Lance’s idea as well, however it must have an adhesive backing, preferably duct tape or some variant.

I agree with everything Benny said pertaining to duct tape. When I used to go through a pair of shoes each month skateboarding… duct-tape. Helps extend the life of the shoes. Its your one-stick quick fixer upper — duuct tape

Sadly, I have no duct tape on the hatch whatsoever. I’m assuming it’ll fall apart soon enough unless I put some duct tape on there as extra reinforcement.
