Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get the weather strips where you put on the kit so water won't leak into the 3M and it gets loose, then your kit falls off. I tried searching no result, any suggestions or help would be great.

I just used a bead of black RTV around the edges.......smoothed it down with alcohol on my finger for a nice smooth consistant edge for a nice tight waterproof edge. This is on my rdsport trunk spoiler. There is a write-up on here somewhere, which is where I got the idea.

Yeah...that should work. Any parts store carries RTV; Kragen, Napa etc. Permatex is the brand I used. Here is one of my threads where someone posted pics of applying rtv around the edges.....scroll down to pics.
