Default any ideas for platic to steel adhesive?

I got a mount for my sirius tuner and dont want to drill into any plastic, in a perfect world someone would suggest some kind of double sided tape/epoxy that is removable when I trade it in, but can hold 5lbs and when you hit a bump, that 5 pounds is gunna move, so maybe would need 10-15 pounds total strength. any ideas?

3M double sided tape. The extra hold stuff. It'll come off later but, might take some solvents to remove it all. Just make sure both surfaces are really nice and clean.

I think that is it. Let me look tomorrow and get back with ya. That is some mean stuff. How big a mounting surface(square inches) can you put it on?

1/2 ab sin C = 1.73 in²

I didn't have any tape left but, I'm pretty sure what you mentioned is what it was. If it doesn't work it will only cost you a couple bucks to find out.
