Can transparent tape really open car windows?
2 Answers
Tape opening car windows is not credible, after all, modern car anti-theft systems have been upgraded. If tape could easily pull open car windows, it would embolden theft gangs to commit crimes rampantly. Here is the relevant content introduction: 1. Ordinary organic solvents: It is difficult to pull car glass down with tape, and improper handling may cause the glass to be stained with adhesive residue from the tape. The adhesive used in ordinary transparent tape is made of common organic solvents, which can turn yellow in a short time, leaving marks on the window and affecting its appearance. 2. Tape window lowering method: The tape window lowering method is also not suitable for today's car window glass structure. In terms of the basic principle of car window lift mechanisms, forcibly pulling out laminated glass may cause the motor wire to break or even damage the door frame.
I once tried using transparent tape to pull open a car window that was frozen shut in winter. Regular office tape couldn't do the job, so I switched to wide tape covering the entire window frame edge. It took two people pulling together to get it open. The principle is that the tape creates pulling force by adhering to both the glass and window frame, but requires sufficient adhesive area and stickiness. However, using too much force risks tearing the weatherstrip and leaves sticky residue. Now I just use de-icing spray - a few sprays, wait five minutes, and the window opens with a gentle push.
