Default Door Magnets

As the title says, I need to install door magnets on a 15 f150 XL but as we know they won't stick due to aluminum.

Has anyone here tried something in order to install removable magnets to the doors!?

I need to be able to take them off as needed as if I would any other truck that magnets do attach.

Open to suggestions!!!

The company signs that are magnetized in the back so you can stick them to the doors and remove them as needed. Those are the ones im talking about!

Copy and thanks. Magnetic vehicle door signage. That might be a tough one to resolve.


Good luck...

Attach some small magnetic strips, painted the color of the vehicle, with 3M tape and then attach the sign to them.

In hindsight, realize you're buying an aluminum vehicle and figure this out before buying it.
