Inspection panel tape

[Kerrville]

I’m currently removing all the inspection panels on my 76 m20j so that my IA can look at all the stuff. I am pulling the panels under the rear seat and noticed that they are all taped down with duct tape. Is there a reason for this?  I don’t think I’d care to replace that when I put it back together…

Keep that cabin sealed from possible exhaust gasses entering from underneath..

Thanks.  That would be a good reason. I will reapply when they go back.

Does anyone know if the back of the rear seat needs to come out for anything?  Looks like a bit of work and I am lazy. Don’t want to make unnecessary work.

You could get the expensive FAA certified aerospace duct tape. Or not.

No reason to remove the seat back.

Judging by this tape, I gather this doesn’t get inspected that often. You’d think it should be done with an annual.
