the body shop put urethane and then double tape around the outer edge , the top is very secure , I guess It wont fall off, but any ideas

Im not so sure , the bottom tape is not holding , I guess if the rest is stuck on , it should hold up, right?
Did you use 3m and glue?

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.

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.

its fixed flush and it was an ebay from Delsa Motorsports............................ Its glued on good just the bottom where the body shop placed 3m its not bonding all the way along, disapointing .

Where did you get the one that your happy with, if you dont mind sharing
