To tape up a car window, you can use clear packing tape and apply strips vertically across the opening from the inside of the car.
Step-by-Step Guide to Taping a Car Window
When you need a temporary fix for a broken or missing car window, clear packing tape can help create a seal. The key is to apply the tape in a specific pattern to cover the opening effectively.
Here is the process:
- Using clear packing tape, begin running strips vertically across the opening of the window.
- Start on one side of the window, on the inside of the car.
- Lay a strip vertically so that the tape touches the window frame.
- Layer another piece vertically, overlapping the first piece.
- Continue applying vertical strips, overlapping each one, until the entire window opening is covered from the inside.
Applying the tape vertically and ensuring each strip overlaps the last and adheres to the frame helps create a makeshift barrier against the elements. This method is designed for temporary sealing using readily available packing tape.
