On my car, 80% of the wiring was held in by cable ties on sticky bases... Passed IVA with no comments about the sticky pads.

Must be testers interpretation again... Personally think sticky pads need additional fixing incase they could off in the future, putting wiring in the
way of moving parts!!!

The two sticky pads I used came loose within one week  I did a proper degrease on the surface, but they just don't seem to hold. I only use
them in places I can't use a rivet to secure these things
As a solution I just remove the sticky stuff and glue them with proper instant glue (loctite 401 fi) Haven't really tested that out, but on
first sight it looks pretty sturdy.

Yeah I bought some sticky pads and they were useless but I bought some from RS, let them set and I can't pull them off
