I just got my Hamann roof spoiler and ACS deck spoiler. I wanted to know which is the best way to attach the spoilers. The roof spoiler came with double stick tape, but I don't think that will be strong enough. The trunk spoiler came with double stick tape and a couple of screws. I'm not to keen on drilling holes in my trunk.

So, I was wondering what the rest of you used to attach your spoilers. Thanks in advance!

DBBL stick tape will work perfectly if the part fit is correct..............all major after market and option body parts "usually" attach this way .......good luck

I used tape and kit. My experience is that only tape is not enough especially when the fitment is not 100%. I gues the Hamann's will fit perfectly.

I'm not as concerned about the trunk spoiler as I am with the roof spoiler. Because the roof spoiler will be more open to the draft or wind, I'm concerned that double stick tape won't be strong enough to hold.

cant you use an adhesive with the tape as welll..?

Hi all!

I am having fittment problems with my ACS rep spoiler. it needs a strong hold, and i am wondering what i should stick it with. I have used double tape, but it starts leaving a gap from the corners.

I have heard of some silicon glues, but would that spoil the paint also in case i want to take it off in future? else, What options do i have?

Thanks . Please help!

If Industrial Strength, 3M double sided tape is not working, then silicone is your only other option. Unfortunately, the only downside to silicone glue is that it will ruin your paint/trunk, should you want to remove the spoiler in the future. :thumbsdown:

Just curious, but where did you get the spoiler from? For a few hundred bucks, you can get yourself an authentic RD Sport or Reiger Spoiler. Both of those easily mount with double sided tape with no fitment issues.

I used a combination of 3M doublesided molding tape and a tube of BetaLink. That shit really works, basically it the same stuff they used to install glass windshields and body panel mouldings. Go to your dealer and the should carry a BetaLink kit at the parts department about $12. Becareful though as that stuff is messy, but works like a champ! Once you install the spoiler you are gonna have to tape and clamp it down for 24hours. Check the DYI seciton, I think member pingnk has a DYI with pictures.

Hi C!

I bought it from ebay from a seller named "amebawings". Both the Roof and Trunk spoiler are a bad fit.

I somehow got the roof spoiler to fit in with some rubbing in.

Could you please be kind enough to show me where i can buy the RD sport / Reiger spoilers? I like them, but didnt find the authentic ones to be reasonablly priced, way too high i found.

Thanks a lot mate!


@ IceyTys : I know the sililcon glue u talking about, but as C said, it will spoil the paint of the trunk if i want to take off the spoiler in future.

IceyTys

Well...yes......but why would you want to take it off ever .(unless you were leasing or something)....at least that my logic....
