Mounting EL Wire

I wish i would of thought bout this before i did the install... but i just put some EL wire along the rear seat, it looks great but it wont stay in place.

Heres the problem:

I want to attach the EL Wire but i dont want to make it permanent.. Styles change... so does anyone know a way i can attach it without making it permanent?


its along the bottom of the bench where the seat meets the carpet and then runs up along the sides. i just did an outline of the whole bench.

Any Ideas would be great.

If you are sticking to plastic or metal, use 3M double sided mounting tape. It can be trimmed and hidden if the wire is visible and you don't want tape showing. Just use alcohol to wipe and clean the area first.

if its unimportant then use a drop of super glue. If its important, try some adhesive foam tape but it will be visible.
