I need to tack down the wire from my XM antenna on the roof of my 2008 Tioga ranger. Any ideas as to what to use?
Thanks in advance

Dicor lap seal. Lay the wire where you want it and gob on a bunch of Dicor and it will stay there for a long time.

I haven't done this although I should. Why not use common silicon adhesive. This would have been my choice.

If you have a rubber roof, the use of silicone will damage the membrane and void your warranty in about 30 seconds. Go to the Dicor web site and read the warranty information. Besides, silicone will not stick to the rubber roofing material.

One small piece of Eternabond will hold that wire for a lifetime.

Eternabond or Dicor should do the job.
