The only tape I could find at the local auto supply was "Trimbrite Clear Bodyguard". I just keep it in place. I placed over sized pieces at all the contact points including under the straps where they meet the "spoiler" So far so good. I have not seen any yellowing and it is pretty inconspicuous unless you are up close to it. The only problem I found, is that the tape does not stick very well curving it around the door edges and inside wields. I then install flat pieces to the door edges
