See my thread here
The glue can be a pain, but every1 claims it holds better! I still have tape on my spoiler, and it seems to be holding ok for now. The tape I used is industrial strength stikka-tape - it's almost identical to the 3m tape. Glue is probably the best way, betalink glue. Tape is the easiest... |

I used 3M tape a handful of times in the past, and I've always loved it.
I put a roof spoiler on with it once, and to test, I was yanking on that thing wil pretty much full force, and it wasn't budging at all. And the best part is if I ever want to take it off, all I need is a heat gun and fishing line, and it will come off without a fuss. Just make sure you read up on proper installation and use with the tape, and you'll be golden. All I basically did, was wash the area really well, and wipe the area down with alcohol as the final cleaning step. Then after it was dry, I heated up the area a bit and then lined up the part, and pressed it in firmly for several seconds and that was it. |
