I just bought a trunk spoiler,and rear window spoiler and was wondering -should use 3M tape and silicone, or 3M tape and spoiler adhesive when I put it on? Bavarian auto has this spoiler adhesive made by a company called Wurth. I'm a little lost,I want to make sure it doesn't fly off in traffic

if you use these 3M tape, they can be stolen pretty easily, I suggest go to your nearest body shop and have them glue it on! GL!

You can use 3M exterior mounting tape, that's what BMW uses for their lip spoilers and what I did to install a roof and lip spoiler. If you want a more permanent solution, then look into BETA link.

Geez, I never thought about someone stealing my spoiler. Mine's just on with 3M tape (don't tell anybody).

Considering what mine cost me, theft is a serious consideration (yes, I have insurance).

That ACS roof spoiler is glued on, and it will take a jack hammer to pry that bad boy off there!
