You can get a roll of 2 inch wide tape made for weather-stripping in the
window insulation aisle at your local lumberyard.that remains stable and
flexible in cold temperatures. The brand they carry around here is "Frost
King"

You're probably thinking of Steelhorse and they did make some pretty
crappy stuff for Jeeps.

Re: 97 wrangler cracked plastic.....
It's not really clear, but the stuff I have seen is fairly close. You
couldn't make it clear, and have fibers in it for strength. It this hasn't
occurred to you, you need to make this repair where it is warm. Take the
window inside, and let it warm up, so the adhesive will stick. Then give it
a couple of hours at least to set. Otherwise, when you bring it outside,
the tape will fall right off.

couldn't make it clear, and have fibers in it for strength. It this hasn't
occurred to you, you need to make this repair where it is warm. Take the
window inside, and let it warm up, so the adhesive will stick. Then give it
a couple of hours at least to set. Otherwise, when you bring it outside,
the tape will fall right off.

Re: 97 wrangler cracked plastic.....
I have gotten away for each season using clear packing tape. Just the
common stuff. It stayed on very well and was even a pain to get off for
the next season's tape job.
I tried 'duct' tape on a window crack last weekend and it already has
failed and fallen partially off.
