Default Good velcro?
Where can I buy online a roll of velcro with adhesive that does not come off?

(What I've managed to find so far just comes off...)

Not sure about online but B&Q and Halfords both do rolls of black (or white) Heavy Duty vecro. The stuff sticks like nothing you've ever seen.

The best stuff by far is the Velcro branded Velcro. But got to give the glue 24hrs once on so it can bond, after that it is pretty much never coming off.

What is the stuff actually called? As Velcro is a brand name which has become the general name regardless of brand. ... hook & fuzz?

I was close, hook & loop

I've had that problem once before, no idea why it did it. Not had it on any other cars.
