roof rail mounting

WHERES THE LAMB SAUCE?!?!
what has everyone used to secure their rails ive been told 3m automotive tape but easy to steal and i heard panel bonding but bascially never take the rails off whats the best option
 


ok good haha i really dont wanna use the panel bond like eddie in case i need to take them off for some reason
 


it takes a heat gun and like 20 minutes of man handling to even rip the wing off the car when i took it off those few times. it's tough stuff.
 
the stuff i have comes in a roll. and it's not cheap. it's black with red plastic covering the adhesive.
 


At work we use the 3M 06382. 1/2 x 20yds Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape is what is on the package. Really stout stuff. We use it for all body panel installs and I put tip to tip on each rail, just wide enough to cover the whole bottom and it's not coming back off the car easily. I can grab a rail and rock the car back and forth, doesn't budge.
