3M or Scotchgard clear protective. I think you can get it on amazon.
airbox cover protective tape ideas
I recently bought this funky used airbox cover to replace one damaged in an accident. the warning decal that acts as a paint protector is usually covered with the front end of the seat, but this one has a sticker that was incorrectly placed crooked and about 1 inch too high making it visable under the seat. Blind people should not play with stickers... So I removed it as it was destroying my serenity looking at it. I made a template of the decal , but am having a hard time finding a one piece protective adhesive tape to replace the stock sticker..I don't want to rub the paint off the cover , any idea of what works well to replace this label?

I picked up some clear bra type stuff from pep boys a few years ago and haven't had any problems. I applied it so it comes up past the seat and kinda takes place of the leather cover HD offered.
That stuff is great. Wife has it on her car and it works as advertised.I picked up some clear bra type stuff from pep boys a few years ago and haven't had any problems. I applied it so it comes up past the seat and kinda takes place of the leather cover HD offered.
Thanks guys.. I will stop by pep boys during my travels today. I saw it online but only huge sizes.Maybe they will have smaller quantities.
This is what I picked up. Its a little thicker then the 3M stuff but has worked well for me so far. https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/9655281/00075Thanks guys.. I will stop by pep boys during my travels today. I saw it online but only huge sizes.Maybe they will have smaller quantities.
If link above does not go to the item once you are on pepboys site just search for part#: 9655281
They also sell tons of this stuff in smaller sizes on amazon:

Looks like a good solution. I may try this as well.

Adhesive protective tape
Thanks a lot for pointing that out! I went to Pep Boys and all they had was the huge roll for over 20 dollars. Considering all I needed was a small patch, I bought some black rubbery non slip material thats used to keep items from sliping off of flat surfaces like dash boards, it looks great but probably will only work temporarily. But I am going to get some of this next week, looks perfect.

Thanks again Ringo. I bought that tape and it works perfectly. I got enough to do 4 or 5 , all I gotta do now is cut the stuff straight which is harder than it sounds
