I've had my RMM for years and I never had any problems. Do you mean, getting the thin lined-up with your trunk? Please specify. Thanks

Blubbling up? Sounds like a paint job problem....not a wing problem.

more probably because it is not exposed to as much direct sunlight as the wing. definitely a paint problem, not the wing itself

Just my 2 cents, only probs i've ever heard encountered with RMM products were fitment issues.

i'm not sure you're understanding this my man....your paint bubbling would not be a result of the wing itself, it would be a result of improper prep work or paint work.

no i completely agree that is weird but i can't see how anything left on the surface of the wing that would cause such a problem wouldn't be removed with proper prep work (i.e. cleaning, sanding, primer etc.).

i also severely doubt the material of the wing itself (fiberglass if i'm remembering correctly? even if not, urethane) wouldn't cause paint to bubble, unless in the small likelihood it was fiberglass that was not left to cure long enough and the resins were baking out in the sun.

haha i wish i had the money, then i might consider buying it and repainting no offense meant buddy, just trying to get to the root of the problem so people have the right info when considering this wing
