Roof spoiler DIY

Franciebaby · 05-15-2007, 08:38 PM

Couldn't find a thread on this. I bought ACS roof spoiler already painted and the instructions were ok but only included a tube of adhesive. The instructions discussed using a cleaner also but was not included. Also I have seen pics with it placed on the rear window and it seems this would hide the brake light and some pics directly on the roof of the car. I prefer the roof but what is the opinions of others. Putting it on a 2007 328i. Thanks.

uhh... use 3m tape and not adhesive... thats gonna be a pain to take off in the future...

that's what I was thinking, thanks. Do I have to order that or can I buy it locally?

you can buy 3M tape at any local hardware store... theres a few types with different widths for different applications...

back glass or roof of the car itself?

back glass... it'll probably look the best when you align it directly below the roof line.

You don't need glue. Just buy automotive 3M Tape and just allign it with the roof.

Your spoiler should have came with adhesive already but vendors usually don't give you the strongest possible tape.
