The back window of my car was broken and I cant afford to fix it. I am going to tape plastic to the car in place of the window. What tape can I use that wont damage the car or the paint?

Blue painters tape (3M brand is best) Duct tape will stick better, but you will have a tough time getting the glue off the paint later.
