You can use RTV silicone glue to attach it to the glass and it will alow you to move the spoiler around and get the fit just right. Then just tape it in place with masking tape and wait a few hours to dry.
You can also use 3m double stick tape, but make sure you have someone help you align it before pressing it down. Once it's stuck you can't move it or take it off very easy.

I would glue to the glass only and not in the groove. You could put a couple of dabs in the groove to hold it, but I don't think it is neccessary. If you hold it in place with masking tape, it will stay in that position when the glue dries.
Just apply the glue all the way across with about a 3/16 bead right on the flat portion. After 24hors drying time, you will have a hard time trying to pull it off.
Permatex Brand RTV Silicone glue comes in black or clear at most auto parts stores.

OK...my car is at the body shop my Dealership uses for all of their cars. The fender and bumper replacements and adhesive removal for the emblems are all being taken care of. A quarter panel molding is also being replaced due to a clip breaking off from the previous owner. The DSR spoiler though is another story.
The guy there just called me to tell me that him and another gentleman tried fitting it to the car, but they don't advise I install it. He says the fitment is not as good as it should be and he could go ahead and use double sided 3M tape but he doesn't forsee the spoiler staying put for very long. He also said with the fitment as bad as it is, there are a few 1/8-1/4" gaps in several areas.
Any advice guys?

I plan to go look at it next week when I pick the car up. Since I have several clients coming, including Bill from the Apprentice, and the partners are all in town, I can;t take off work. The shop only operates during business hours so I have to ditch work for a few hours to do anything with them more involved than a phone call.

i installed my DSR roof spoiler my self... i dunno... i guess the ones that come painted dosnt fit perfect.... mayb cause of shrinkage in a few places from being in the Oven after painting...
mine was a ain in the *** to put on... and couldnt drive my car for like 2 days... cause of the silicon drying...
But... at the end... its all done and finished.... The product over all came out good.... no big gaps... or openings onces its in place ...
Looks nice.... will post pics when im all finished with my "new" setup

Did you silicone it to the glass?
I tried fitting it myself once when it first came, just to see what it would look like on the car and I did notice that I might have to bend it a little to fit it better but I figured that the double sided tape would take care of that.
