Wire Loom Harness Tape Used by Mercedes BMW VW Audi by Tesa

This is an excellent, high quality tape for wrapping harnesses and wires INSIDE the passenger compartment of a car NOT the engine bay. Use in an engine bay for harness wrapping is contrary to the manufacturers specified main application. This tape is specifically designed for use INSIDE the passenger compartment to provide flexibility and noise damping. For example, wrapping wires and harnesses that come in contact with metal or plastic areas that can cause rattles. This tape uses a rubber based adhesive with a temperature ceiling of 105 degrees C or 221 degrees F. Older and high performance car’s engine compartments can easily exceed this temperature. The rubber based adhesive can gum up and the ends of the tape will flag. If you are looking for tape that is specifically designed for operation within a high temperature automotive environment then look for tesa 51026 or 51036. Both use acrylic based adhesives with high abrasion and temperature resistance up to150 degrees C or 302 degrees F and no flagging. You can order these tapes on Amazon. The information below is from the manufacturer’s specification sheets. Product Features tesa® 51608 is the universal tape for wire harness bundling in the passenger compartment.

This is very high quality. I found this brand TESA on some of the car forums and they highly recommended it. Needed to fix a wiring harness component and this tape is perfect. It didn't match in color perfectly to the OEM but the fabric is such high quality and adhesion was perfect. The tape roll is large enough for many uses and you could probably do your entire wiring harness and maybe one more with the roll. It just works well and is super easy to use and cut. Don't delay - buy it today.

Second roll I've bought! I'm rewiring a lot of stuff on a motorcycle and removing all the hard and soft plastic wire sleeves to repair broken wires and wrap in abrasion-resistant fabric split loom and have used this tape any place possible to close the split loom or wrap smaller wires in. It allows the split loom to maintain its flexibility. No gooey mess to deal with when it's warm. It's about impossible to get apart once stuck to itself. I actually found using a small cloth seam ripper and running it just under the tape cuts right through and no risk to wires below like if using a razor. For any wiring in areas exposed to direct rain/sun, I use the same mesh loom except it's not split loom and heat shrink the ends to wiring. Awesome tape for its intended purpose.

I have been using this tape for a few years now. It is OE quality, and lasts for years. I've started to observe repairs with this tape outlasting the OE stuff. This cloth tape is similar to what is used by many European vehicle manufacturers. If you are looking for an insulating tape, this is the wrong product for you. PVC style tape would be more suitable for that application. This tape is excellent for wrapping/looming wiring harnesses.

I am adding ambient lighting to my RCF since Lexus decided to remove it for my model year.. While splicing into the wires I wanted everything to match with the factory harness. I bought this tape. It's so much nicer than normal electrical tape. In my picture the harness to the right with the white connector is what I added. If you didn't know, you'd think that came from the factory like that. Which is exactly the look I'm going for. I like this stuff a lot! Seems to stick to itself just like the OEM felt tape. Matches, and looks good! Should have zero issues with this stuff and or anyone thinking this was some back yard install...

Bought a used 2015 BMW X-5 and had all kind of rattling from the dual tailgate. Tailgate opens in the middle, half of the opening and what shoots up is the window section. Metal body section of tailgate has its own handle to drop the deck down. I used the Tesa tape to wrap around the latch connectors on the body to catch the tailgate deck and then wrapped some tape around the latch connector on the window section where it connects to the deck section. Noise gone. Seems the only other adjustment that can be made is moving the connectors on the frame backwards and tightening them down. I didn't want to mess with that and the tape worked well. Sticks to itself very well.

Great for bundling up automotive wires and doesn't a big mess after removing the tape.

So, Tesa cloth tape is not tall that sticky- but that's a good thing if you ever want remove it without leaving behind a yucky residue. It also won't seep adhesive in high temps like regular vinyl electrical tape. It does stick very well to itself, however, almost like medical tape. Once wrapped it does stay in place, even on smooth surfaces. For hiking/camping/tactical applications it is awesome as it is very tear-resistant and easily removed and rewrapped. The cloth material molds itself tightly into odd shapes well, such as sling swivels and tri-glides. Perfect to prevent rattles on loose handguards or cover shiny bits that you don't want giving away your position. I replaced all the duct and electrical tape in my packs with this stuff. Great product!

Well it's Tesa tape, makes your car audio installs more professional looking and appear factory. Most installers use hockey tape though since it's way cheaper.

Bought for internal PC cables. Done just the job

You can make a stock looking harness with this. Looks awesome and is easy to work with.

Consistently the best manufacturer of tapes. Masking tape, electrical tape and now harness tape. Better value than Scotch tape and performs great.

Just what it is supposed to do. Excellent product
