BLK E90 · 06-28-2008, 04:09 PM

Those who have done it themselves...

What did you use?

3M Double Sided Tape?

Or

Glue?

3m tape . home depot

BLK E90 · 06-28-2008, 04:45 PM

Should I also use the 3M tape for the ACS Roof Spoiler?

Doc E · 06-28-2008, 04:50 PM

3m tape, industrial strength though, otherwise it'll start to slide around a bit

DrGP · 06-28-2008, 07:31 PM

I've used 3M tape for 5 of my own spoilers on various cars. Never had a problem.

BLK E90 · 06-28-2008, 08:17 PM

Alright cool! Thanks for the help guys. Going to Home Depot to pick some up.

SV Concepts III · 06-28-2008, 10:15 PM

Definitely the 3M tape.

Depends on the rear deck spoiler. The corners on the OEM spoiler for E90 won't stay down w/ just tape, you'll need to secure the corners w/ Betalink. However, tape is fine for the M spoiler.

Yea it is and OEM spoiler!

So your saying that I have to use the 3M tape for all but the sides and then use Betalink to seal the sides?

Betalink...? What is that and where can I get it?

Jet335i · 07-02-2008, 04:42 PM

don't use betalink unless you're sure you'll never EVER want to take the spoiler off again.

I know what betalink is but want to know if this is needed when the spoilr is not complete flush with the trunk?

Tape holds the oem spoiler..in fact mine is on so well that I tried to rip it off and couldnt move it..at all.

I put mine on with 3m but one side came up about 24 hours after the initial install. I put some painters tape to hold it down for about another 24 hours and now i can't even budge it. It sits flush to my window and looks great.
