Disclosed is an adhesive tape for fastening including an adhesive layer on at least one surface of substrate, wherein the substrate has a surface roughness (Ra) of 20 m or less, the adhesive tape has a breaking strength of 100 N to 200 N/25 mm in a longitudinal direction, an elongation at break of 10% or less, an edge tearing resistance of 120 to 200 N/20 mm, and is compliant with FMVSS 302, a weight does not fall in a test of holding power for cylindrical back surface of substrate, and the adhesive tape for fastening exerts excellent deployability, fastening properties and, also, fire resistance when used in airbag fastening applications. [Test of holding power for cylindrical back surface of substrate] An adhesive tape 1 is attached to the surface of a cylindrical jig 2 having a diameter of 28 mm, further an adhesive tape 1 that has been cut to a width of 10 mm is attached to the adhesive tape 1 (back surface) such that the adhesive tape 1 is attached over a distance of only 30 mm, the weight (a load of 500 g) is attached and left to stand still in a 95 C. environment for 30 minutes, and a check is performed to determine whether or not the weight has fallen due to separation of the adhesive tape 1.

A vehicle glazing includes a glazed element, at least one mounting plate for the reversible attachment of an accessory to the glazed element, the mounting plate having an exterior face which is fixed facing an interior face of the glazed element, and including at least one mount for the reversible attachment of another accessory to the glazed element, wherein the mount is mechanically connected by at least one connecting arm connecting the mount to the mounting plate and the mount having an exterior face which is fixed facing an interior face of the glazed element.

The bumper shield is a protective structure that mounts on a vehicle. The vehicle is further defined with a bumper and a trunk. The bumper is further defined with a superior surface. The bumper shield attaches to the superior surface of the bumper. The position of the bumper shield on the bumper is such that the bumper shield protects the bumper from impact damage caused by cargo hitting the bumper as the cargo is loaded and removed from the trunk. The bumper shield forms a sacrificial surface that separates the bumper and the cargo being loaded into the trunk. The bumper shield comprises a base strip and a parchment. The base strip attaches to the bumper. The parchment protects the base strip during storage of the bumper shield.
