How to Adhere a POP Bobblehead to your Car Dashboard

After dealing with this issue for nearly two years I finally have a non-permanent solution that works. 3M VHB tape! It’s very high bond foam tape, the same exact tape they use for GoPro mounting.

I have no idea why POP doesn’t doesn’t build this feature in already! I mean isn’t that what a bobblehead is meant for? To bobble its head while your driving your car…

Previously I’ve tried:

  • Hot Glue
  • Sticky Tack
  • Double Sided Tape

all with only marginal success, a week or two and then it would fail. Usually with temperature changes they would fail.

I’ve had this Storm Trooper mounted in the Car and a Potted Groot on another car for a couple years now!

 

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: Use dish soap to clean the area you plan to apply the bobble head. Note: Window cleaner may leave a residue.

 

Step 2: Wipe down with water.

 

Step 3: Allow to dry.

 

Step 4: If there are recesses, slowly start to build them up with the foam tape. You want the attaching surface to be as uniform as possible with the most surface area as possible.

 

Step 5: Press down the Bobblehead firmly for at least 30 seconds Enjoy!

Update: The 3M VHB tape $11 removes cleanly as well. Watch the video below for a demonstration. I’ve also heard good things about Gorilla Mounting Tape ($7) a cheaper solution that supposedly works too.
