Angry thinnest mounting tape

Just wondering what the thinnest mounting tape out there was for spoiler?

I had used wurth tape before and my BS spoiler is bumping up on the right slightly

3m is the best and really pretty thin. What was used to install my BS spoiler.

Just showing off, Huh? That install looks extremely nice. BTW, I born and raised in KC, and did my undergrad there at UMKC.

With the extreme heat this summer, my OEM spoiler is starting to pull away from the trunk (about six inches worth starting at the right edge). I am assuming it would be best to pull the whole thing off, clean it all up and then run new tape across the whole bottom of the spoiler? Find this tape at any auto parts store? I know this is probably simple but dont want to end up losing the thing on the highway and wind up on Eddieo45's "dumbest thing you've done" thread.

I would go to a auto body paint supply store. They have every type and brand and size imaginable.

The 3M tape I used was super thin for a perfect BS fitment.

The 3M prep solution is a must for good adhesion.

Make sure the surface is clean before putting on the spoiler. My roof spoiler flew off my car on the freeway going around 70 because of that reason (I used 3m also). On my trunk spoiler I made sure it was very clean and try and its been holding on strong for a good 7 months now with no issues, Also 3m
