Can the adhesive be added and removed from the top of window a/c units?

This plastic product gets brittle and breaks in the sun, and I learned my lesson after my second install. I replaced my bird spikes with stainless steel and they will last a lifetime. The S/S bird spikes are flexible and they can be cut and glued down. Buy Dura-Spike from Bird Barrier, and you will not make the same mistake I did twice. http://www.birdbarrier.com/

I did not use the adhesive...just screws...to the top of fencing to keep racoons off my roof. Sorry, I can't answer this.

These did not work at all for me. The adhesive is going to be on the shingles forever, but it did NOT hold the plastic spikes in place. The pigeons just tipped them over I think, or it may have been the breeze... I ended up putting all the strips into the trash.

I used the enclosed adhesive and it's held onto the brick very well. My location is out of direct sunlight and any pounding weather, so that may play a factor as to why mine have been fine.

I put them on the top of my son's swing frame. I bought plastic to save money not knowing how well they would work. They work great, now I wish I bought the stainless so they'd last longer. I did not use the adhesive. I zip-tied them on so I could remove them if they didn't work. I like the zip-tie method. I used very long ties and left the points sticking up as extra spikes. I've not had to clean swing seats since intalled.

It is always best to replace the adhesive. You are heating, prying and pushing the thin adhesive strips during opening. Undamaged, reusable adhesive would be a real blessing.

I think that you could do it and depending on your window sill it may or may not need an outside support. The trouble would be a big gap above the ac unit and the top of the window. As it is set up there are accordion sleeves to close this gap for a top down closing window.

I haven't tried to remove one, but this new adhesive is pretty much an epoxy type cold weld. I doubt it can be removed without damaging the refrigerator. Maybe you should contact 3M and see if there is a liquid remover product that would release the adhesive??

Definitely! Brackets are supplied with the AC, but I already had old ones on the window. Also, the type supplied may not fit your Window ledge!

The windows are Velcro so you can not roll them up with it you could just take them off all together, Please let me know if this helped any? Jamie

you probably could, but you would still need support for the outside part of the unit and some way to anchor it to the supports and the wall. The sleeve solves all the mounting issues and sets it at the proper angle so condensation runs to the outside. It also makes it easy to remove if it needs maintenance. I think the sleeve is the only sensible way to install it. you would probably spend more time and money trying to install it without it.

It will be as temporary as whatever you use to affix it to the window is. There is no adhesive on this product. This is like the stuff used to make sun visors for car windshields. Think bubble wrap with silver covering. It is very sturdy and you should be able to reuse it many times.

Yes probably - the adhesive is very good and will only bond further over time / heat. You may want to consider using a 3M removable adhesive (like the removable plastic hooks you can install on your doors / walls) then apply this 3M reflective tape on top.

This is a "once" only application. Removing it will render the adhesive unusable.

Yes BUT it's removable from the right side so unless your unit sticks out past the wall/window sill, you'll have to pull the whole unit out of the window to remove it.

Removal is as easy as peeling the film away from the glass. If your film has been installed for several years and doesn't peel easily from the glass then it may have a sticky adhesive so use Gila Window Film Removal solution.

no they stick on right above the window,you can stick it on the door before you pull the sticky tape off to see how it will look.

I haven't tried, but I'm guessing a little heat MIGHT soften the adhesive enough that you could pull it off, OR, a little coconut oil, butter or shortening might work. Also, a product called goof off might do it.

I would say no . You would need a corner piece to come up the wall to the window unit .you might've able to join 2 vent kits together to do it
