Roof Spoiler

With the winter weather and windy conditions my freaking roof spoiler flew off on the highway today. heard a loud crack thought it was ice look back did not see a long black spoiler flying off. I just notice it when i got home and look for it and i was freaking gone. I knew this would happen i did apply a 5lb 3m double sided tape. It was just the fitment was horrible. summer time i will look for another one. Happy New Years!

Dude so sorry to hear that !! Thats the issue that held me back from getting any of these spoilers since i was afraid of such an aggravating experience i figured if i dont buy the spoiler i wont chance seeing it fly off ??? Good luck on the next one !!

dude, i never even put mine back on... figured it was just going to pop off again anyway...

you are right, fitment was horrible and its pretty impossible to get a straight spoiler to stay stuck to a curved surface with just tape...

anybody know the name of the right kind of glue to use to glue plastic to glass???

talked to Carking and they will sell me one for a $125 shipped and painted with the better 3M doubles sided tape. I am thinking of just removing it out during the winter season and putting it back during the summer time. Hey i've been talking to CarKing (Brad) and tryin to get a GB on a CF lip and CF diffuser waiting for pictures on it and then i'll start a thread about it. anyone interested?
