installed roof spoiler wrong!

AKbmw · 12-14-2008, 03:28 AM

While i was installing my roof spoiler from Adamaster i used the Adhesive that it came with, i did everything correctly but after i went for a drive i started to hear some weird sounds coming from the top right part of the rear window. Then i took a closer look at it and noticed that the spoiler was actually touching the roof of the car and that i put it too close compared to the other side. This sound is getting really annoying and i don't know what to do. Any suggestions? Please!

(and yes it is on very well, won't budge even with my full force)

Im gonna try and answer your question by saying...there is nothing you can do about it.

If thats the glue that I'm thinking about, youre basically screwed. Its permanent.

yea, u can take it off...betalink isnt permanent. its pretty much tho but not 100. use fishing line, preferably 10lbs or 12lbs line. and just jig-saw your way from one end to the next. it took me all day to take my trunk spoiler off that i betalink....and it scratched the clearcoat ofcourse. glass should be easier. careful the rubber trim around the window!

there is such a thing as adhesive remover... that + fish line/ floss and it should work.
