Or yet another option is duct tape and axle grease.

1) I clean the painted surface on the car first
2) Place the duct tape on the car and overlap in the area of interest
3) Rub on a thin coat of axle grease over the gray surface of the duct tape.

The duct tape is thick enough to give me a little "air-gap-cushion" to ensure that the tail does not hit the paint on the car.

I'm going to tighten up the gap on my tail using this same approach later this summer.

We'll see if the thickness of the duct tape is enough for this to work.

Jim.
