Nick - thanks so much for that photo! You just answered my question about where to light it up. I figured it had to be lined up with the rubber mold of the rear windshield and not all the way to the top, but wasn't sure. It didn't feel right covering the gap between the windshield and the top of the car. It didn't sit well. This is perfect! Thanks for taking that shot!

Mine holds fine and it uses that 3m tape stuff. No problems. And yes I occasionally go 125mph

Glad someone could help you out with the pics. I've just had my hands full with the new puppy. Didn't have a chance to get outside to take pics of the spoiler.
Did you install it yet?

No worries man. I did the install this morning. Check it out.

PS - I'm going back to Perfect Ten on Friday to have him do a detail. He's only charging me $100 b/c I'm a "friend" of Neil's. Once I get the car back, I'm going to Zaino the hell out of it and make it look shinier than ever! B/T/W - He did an AWESOME paint job on the spoiler. It's perfect. 2 coats of paint, 2 coats of clear coat and I had it back 6 hours later. Thanks again for the referral.

Has anyone installed their roof spoiler on their own? If so, what was the exact method you used for mounting it, so it was centered? Did it require 2 people? Lastly, which adhesive tape did you use? I was thinking of going with this one: http://officesupplieslane.com/mmm4010.html
My roof spoiler is being painted and I'll be mounting it tomorrow.

Thanks!

I've used this polyurethane seal, suggested by a car glass specialist, it's super fast and powerful. It worked perfectly. Ready to go in 30 min.

Primer for both sides, primer applicator, and seal tube.
