Hey guys, i ordered the megan CF roof spoiler. The only part that seems to actually touch the car are the outer 4" on either side. The whole middle part wants to raise up 1/3" and not touch the car.


Is it supposed to fit like that? It feels like it might fly off at high speeds. I do a lot of freeway driving with heavy traffic and i don't want it flying into someone's windshield.

I can push it down in the middle but even with 2 strips of the 3m tape it just doesn't want to stay down, it feels like it's going to crack also.

So, thumbs down for megan roof spoiler? is it safe to just put 3m tape on the outer 4" sections?

Edit I solved this problem with a heat gun as suggested. It worked perfectly and mated up 100% to the car. Thanks to all who suggested. I forgot to edit this thread at the time. I would recommend this part but be ready to reshape it a little bit, don't worry it's very easy

I would skip the 3m tape. just use some strong glue to bond it to the car/glass.

That sounds kind of shady, what if i wanted to remove it ?
It has like a raised section that is supposed to fit over the rubber window moulding, which makes up about 50% of the actual contact area

I tried to take one but it didn't really photograph well in my carport. basically the middle section refuses to touch the glass/window lip.

I might try a poly adhesive to the window tomorrow...Does anyone else have this megan spoiler? Do you guys think it's stupid to take it to a body shop to see if they could stick on properly?

If its not sitting flat, I can see it vibrating itself apart pretty quickly

DONT DO IT!!! you will get jacked like i did. i had a three piece junction produce spoiler and a junction produce roof spoiler. bastards stole both while my car was in the driveway. I SAY NO TO 3M!!!

I live in a sleepy town in canada bro, california sounds scary with all the thieves running around.

I'm going to try to sand it down a bit on the sides so that more of it mates up to the roof. If anyone in the future reads this thread from a search, I do not recommend the megan roof spoiler, due to the poor fitment. The weave itself looks pretty decent, but the clear needs a polish/buffing.

ok guys, here are some pics if anyone is considering bying this item, or searches this thread in the future:

if the pics are too big just ctrl+ scroll your mouse


This time i enlisted a friend to help me push it down, we stood on stools and pushed all our weight on it and after about 2 minutes it just popped right up again. This is using the 3m tape. So on the final attempt i decided to just let it sit how it wants to sit.

Maybe they designed it this way for mad airflow bro. or mine is just poorly formed/defective.

I tried sanding it down but it seemed pretty futile, there is like a 6mm gap in the middle








This is what i'm worried about, these are the only parts i can actually put the tape without having it visible and/orr totally ineffective. Trust me this is the maximum surface area i could do, this is the fourth attempt. Do you guys think it will fly off at freeway speeds?


Showing the weave, no visible air bubbles, clear coat needed a bit of buffing though before install...Any little flecks you see are dust


side view, it looks pretty decent





From above




Overall i think it looks pretty cool, like it was designed to flow air underneath, even though i'm 99% sure it just has terrible fitment...

just put 3m across it , it should hold fine

if you really want good fitment, get a heat gun and shape it to the roof

i would use a heat gun and warm it and put some weight on it to give it back shape

Looks like a nice one dont give up. Looks like u can run a thin strip of 3m tape along the top line. Def use a heat gun and some pressure. Maybe u can use some painters tape to help hold it down as u heat it up and apply pressure.
