I pulled the window spoiler off this morning using fishing line. It left no damage at all to the window gasket thankfully.

Double sided-tape does bond but the problem is that the parts may not be 'perfect' and therefore need to be 'moulded' ...the uneven pressure could create a lift which would spread. Taping and leaving sit in a heated environment helped the pieces acclimate so they'll fit nice and snug.

Ended up having to redo this with Betalink. The 3M tape eventually started pulling up after a week or so. The betalink has held for around 2 months now.

Hey is your roof spoiler connected to the rubber piece on the top of the windshield. I have the same roof spoiler and have not mounted it. It goes on that rubber trim or onto the actual glass?

As mentioned, I pulled it off just aftr the pics were taken. The spoiler has a little "step" in it to go up on the rubber trim.
