Dude, 3M Extreme Mounting Tape is the stuff. I bought a portable CarPlay unit for my work vehicle, and I mounted it on the dash with the included mounting tape. It didn't stay up there a day before it was falling off anytime I hit a bump. I went to Lowe's and got some Extreme Mounting Tape and put it on, and it doesn't move. AT ALL. The one time I had to take it off, I thought I was gonna pull parts of the dash off with the tape! I live in the south, and not even the summer heat affects it.
South here as well. 3M's outdoor, double-sticky tape is wild. Hot? Humid? DGAF, it'll not only stick and hold real weight, it'll come off easily enough without nasty residue.
No idea how their company works, and their chemists must be the bomb, but they obviously have a tradition of pride in their products. So wish we could get back to that in America. (I'll punt for Gorilla products though! Solid glues and tapes for many purposes.)
When I was a kid, dad had total disdain for "cheap" products. People would talk, compare notes. Everyone knew what products were solid and which weren't, wasn't a price tag thing. Everyone knew KitchenAid, Tupperware and Corning made solid shit. And now look where those companies are. :(
