OEM Trunk Spoiler not sticking at the corners!!!!
Had a body shop install the spoiler a few weeks ago. It looks great but it keeps pulling up a little on the very corners on the spoiler. I was wondering if any of you have experienced this before and if you have any tricks to keep it stuck down all the way. I have tried blue tape for a few days and it helped but the very corners still keep popping up. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

It looks like the bottom and top edges are equally off the surface. I'd attribute that to the thickness of the 3M tape and curvature of the spoiler. Don't think you're going to get it any tighter to the surface.

I would want it more flush against the trunk than that. You can definitely tell there's a gap.
When I installed my M3 spoiler the corners started lifting after a few weeks. Probably because I didn't have a pre-adhesive cleaner at the time. I ended up removing it, cleaning with a pre-adhesive cleaner, then using the adhesive that is used to install windshields. It sits flush all the way to re corners now. I've read others use betalink adhesive. Might be the same stuff I used?
