3M trim tape only, no silicone or glues used. How long should I wait?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Promed,

When I attempted that process with a replica trunk lip spoiler I waited 24 hours. Is this a replica or OEM trunk lip spoiler? I'm not sure about the roof spoiler however, 24 hours should be enough.

Well since you have 14 day "sure-release" tape on there, wait for 14 days. It's ok to drive like this. You'll be the talk of the board. I'm sure some guys in the 3-series forums will see you and post a pic.lol

lol, I'm not even opening the garage door. Have a kerosene heater running to keep it a little warmer in there.

No, it didn't blow off. I just decided to go with another spoiler.

Gotcha. I'm not liking this window spoiler. Doesn't seem to flow well with the lines of the car as it sits now.
