An inside storm window or other window cover is mounted to a window frame by two magnetic tape strips, one which adheres to the frame and another which adheres to the window cover. Before the second tape strip is attached to the window cover, it is positioned with its magnetic side face to face with the first strip so that the strips are oriented to magnetically attract one another at all points around the window. Then, the window cover is attached to the second strip, and the magnetic attraction between the tape strips assures an effective seal around the entirety of the window.

A method of releasably attaching an aperture covering panel to a frame surrounding the aperture; said method comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a continuous and generally planar surface on said frame enclosing said aperture; (b) providing first and second strips, each strip having an adhesive side and an opposite magnetic side, said magnetic side having spatially alternating north and south magnetic poles thereon; (b) applying the adhesive side of said first strip to a first of said surface or said panel in a pattern to generally continuously surround said aperture; (c) positioning the magnetic side of said second strip on the magnetic side of said first strip such that said second strip is generally coextensive with said first strip; (d) adjusting said second strip in relation to said first strip to position the magnetic poles of said second strip in registration with opposite magnetic poles of said first strip to maximize the magnetic attraction between said first and second strips; and (e) thereafter placing a second of said surface or said panel in contact with the adhesive side of said second strip such that said panel is removably held so as to cover said aperture by the magnetic attraction between the magnetic sides of said first and second magnetic strips.
