Trunk Spoiler problem(double side tape not holding)

I have that exact spoiler in the previous thread,I just noticed the sides are coming un-glued, is there any glue that would hold that spoiler in place better without damaging the paint under? Thanks! Georgie

I had the same thing happen to mine on one side. I heated the spoiler with a hair dryer to get the tape sticky and then taped it in place using packaging tape. I left the tape on for 2 days, removed it and it has held in place. If that does not work remove the spoiler using either fishing line or dental floss, pick up the double sided tape at an auto supply house (Nappa, Pep Boys, etc.) remove the old, replace it with the new and install again.
