Wire Loom Harness Tape Used by Mercedes BMW VW Audi by Tesa

This is an excellent, high quality tape for wrapping harnesses and wires INSIDE the passenger compartment of a car NOT the engine bay. Use in an engine bay for harness wrapping is contrary to the manufacturers specified main application. This tape is specifically designed for use INSIDE the passenger compartment to provide flexibility and noise damping. For example, wrapping wires and harnesses that come in contact with metal or plastic areas that can cause rattles. This tape uses a rubber based adhesive with a temperature ceiling of 105 degrees C or 221 degrees F. Older and high performance car’s engine compartments can easily exceed this temperature. The rubber based adhesive can gum up and the ends of the tape will flag. If you are looking for tape that is specifically designed for operation within a high temperature automotive environment then look for tesa 51026 or 51036. Both use acrylic based adhesives with high abrasion and temperature resistance up to150 degrees C or 302 degrees F and no flagging. You can order these tapes on Amazon. The information below is from the manufacturer’s specification sheets. Product Features tesa® 51608 is the universal tape for wire harness bundling in the passenger compartment. It combines important features as noise dampening, abrasion resistance, and bundling strength while keeping harnesses flexible supporting an easy harness assembly process at the OEM. tesa® 51608 a PET fleece wire harness tape with a rubber based adhesive that is optimized for manual application.

This is very high quality. I found this brand TESA on some of the car forums and they highly recommended it. Needed to fix a wiring harness component and this tape is perfect. It didn't match in color perfectly to the OEM but the fabric is such high quality and adhesion was perfect. The tape roll is large enough for many uses and you could probably do your entire wiring harness and maybe one more with the roll. It just works well and is super easy to use and cut. Don't delay - buy it today.

Second roll I've bought! I'm rewiring a lot of stuff on a motorcycle and removing all the hard and soft plastic wire sleeves to repair broken wires and wrap in abrasion-resistant fabric split loom and have used this tape any place possible to close the split loom or wrap smaller wires in. It allows the split loom to maintain its flexibility. No gooey mess to deal with when it's warm. It's about impossible to get apart once stuck to itself. I actually found using a small cloth seam ripper and running it just under the tape cuts right through and no risk to wires below like if using a razor. For any wiring in areas exposed to direct rain/sun, I use the same mesh loom except it's not split loom and heat shrink the ends to wiring. Awesome tape for its intended purpose.

I have been using this tape for a few years now. It is OE quality, and lasts for years. I've started to observe repairs with this tape outlasting the OE stuff. This cloth tape is similar to what is used by many European vehicle manufacturers. If you are looking for an insulating tape, this is the wrong product for you. PVC style tape would be more suitable for that application. This tape is excellent for wrapping/looming wiring harnesses.

I am adding ambient lighting to my RCF since Lexus decided to remove it for my model year.. While splicing into the wires I wanted everything to match with the factory harness. I bought this tape. It's so much nicer than normal electrical tape. In my picture the harness to the right with the white connector is what I added. If you didn't know, you'd think that came from the factory like that. Which is exactly the look I'm going for. I like this stuff a lot! Seems to stick to itself just like the OEM felt tape. Matches, and looks good! Should have zero issues with this stuff and or anyone thinking this was some back yard install...

Great for bundling up automotive wires and doesn't a big mess after removing the tape.

So, Tesa cloth tape is not tall that sticky- but that's a good thing if you ever want remove it without leaving behind a yucky residue. It also won't seep adhesive in high temps like regular vinyl electrical tape. It does stick very well to itself, however, almost like medical tape. Once wrapped it does stay in place, even on smooth surfaces. For hiking/camping/tactical applications it is awesome as it is very tear-resistant and easily removed and rewrapped. The cloth material molds itself tightly into odd shapes well, such as sling swivels and tri-glides. Perfect to prevent rattles on loose handguards or cover shiny bits that you don't want giving away your position. I replaced all the duct and electrical tape in my packs with this stuff. Great product!

After using this tape for my recent head unit install, I can't go back to using electric tape again. Although electric tape can be useful in many automotive applications, I have found it certain applications -- such as wrapping wires under the engine bay -- it gets very gooey easily and is a pain in the you know what to undo. This Tesa tape is very heat resistant (150 C or 302 F) and wrapped around itself very easily w/ no gooey mess left behind. This tape has been very useful when wrapping the amplifier power wire under the engine bay by that I ran from the + battery terminal post to the amplifier in the vehicle. Moreover, it give the installation a professional look. I have posted some pictures of my usage of this product and hope it helps give an idea of the possibilities of this tape. ** Note ** There are different models of Tesa tape so make sure to to get the one that fits your usage. For example, if you wanted to predominantly use this under your engine bay, then the "Tesa 51026 or 51036" would be great as they are heat resistant up too 302 F. But if you mainly want to use this in cooler temperatures -- such as around the home or the passenger area of a vehicle -- then the "Tesa 51608 or 51606" (which are cheaper) would more than suffice as they are heat resistant up too 221 F.

Well it's Tesa tape, makes your car audio installs more professional looking and appear factory. Most installers use hockey tape though since it's way cheaper.

Very good tape. Sticky and compliant enough for me to stick it into tight gaps. Does the job at preventing trim pieces touching and rattling.

Great tape

You can make a stock looking harness with this. Looks awesome and is easy to work with.

Good quality product
