Anyone hung Christmas LED lights around their van.
(Preview)
Trying to figure out away to hang Christmas tree LED lights around the van, The van is fiberglass composite sheeting. Tried the stick on hooks (tape), wont stick, polish must be ingrained in the glass, suction cups just slide down the walls. Maybe I have to Sika-flex some hooks in place. Any ideas ?
