the best way is to use silicone to sick it down.
Why?
well when you doing 100mph the force of the wind is very high and if it is not suck down well it will fly off and hit the car behind.
I seen it done before.

My Ride: See my signature
I'm assuming it's a replica. Where did you get it from? I had the same problem with the original one that I purchased from "carking" on ebay. The body shop could not get it to stay on. I eventually gave up after 3 tries and finally bought a new one. I haven't had a problem with the new one.
I say you get it fixed so it's flush like it should be. If not it will eventually fall off...hopefully not when you are on the highway and cause an accident.
