Topic...my spoilers coming up and off on one end... scheduled a dealer appointment for next mon. but i doubt they will cover it, ive had the car since november 09. Can a body shop just throw some 3m under that **** or does it have to be reapplied, and anyone know how much something like that might cost me?

j bro

just had my oem taken off and put an mcd one on, they added extra 3m tape to i and charged me 60 bucks, i was pretty happy with that, it was a small autobody shop tho dealers will prob charge more

This old topic comes up repeatedly. A bead of urethane under the spoiler will keep it on very securely (be sure you like your spoiler), and help prevent it from becoming a spear for the driver behind you. Tape it down, and let it set for the day.

what kind of urethane should i use?

MB produces a tube of urethane. The indy shop I went to uses it, and it should be available at dealer parts counters. I don't know if there are different grades of urethane, but the OE MB material works very well!

I strongly recommend you to reapply your spoiler. The double sided tape on the exposed end has already been exposed to air and moisture and has already lost most of it's adhesive properties. Adding a layer of 3M double sided tape on it would just make the spoiler uneven.

I have to warn you that removing the existing double sided tape from your spoiler is going to be a PITA. You will need hours of scraping... not too mention diluting the tape with goo gone.

For reapplication... prep the surface of both the car and the spoiler. Use 3M's adhesion promoter on both the car and spoiler's surface. Evenly apply 3M's acrylic plus double sided tape onto the spoiler. Don't peel the tape just yet... make final measurements and adjustments and use a masking tape as a guide on where to align your spoiler. Have a friend or a buddy help you put in place. Apply even pressure and let cure for at least a day.
