I’m lucky really as my Father owns a packaging business so I’m getting free samples of both tapes. And also it will be genuine 3MYou need to watch out on some well known online market retailers because some people are quite canny about saying "3M tape" - when they mean that the roll is 3m long, and when you read the small print it is a poor substitute - but easily mistaken. As David says above, the backing should have the branding on it.
I have recently restuck slightly detached ends of an Audi heated mirror using genuine 3M heat-resistant double-sided foam tape that I bought from Viking tapes online, who cut me a short roll of 12mm wide tape for just over 6 quid. Bloody brilliant stuff for the repair box. I only had a narrow gap to insert at the ends that were coming unstuck, so cut a couple of pieces about an inch long that I was able to insert to the gaps at each end of the mirror moulding held open by cocktail sticks with one non-stick side still in place. Once that sat down and had been allowed to key onto the surface by holding overnight with clothes-pegs, I then wedged the mirror open again and used watchmaker forceps (fine #1 needle ends) to grab the second non-stick piece and peel this off in the very narrow gap, then clamped the mirror back together overnight. Clipped onto the car the a couple of weeks ago and been used repeatedly with the heating without any movement (compared to cheap Ebay heated mirrors that went floppy after a single use 2 years ago).
They do have an Ebay site but I went direct through their website as it was easier to go through the range of tapes on offer and find the short roll option (they mostly deal with industrial quantities in significantly higher size and price points).
