Really? I have never had a problem with anything falling off of that sort with the 3m. I have never used that polyurethane glue but willing to try something new.

A roof spoiler wouldn't fall off, but someone with enough motivation could rip it off.

That said, I'm using 3M tape to keep my roof spoiler attached.

Regarding the 3M Tape, did you all take your spoiler completely off and to stick the tape onto the spoiler and just stick it back onto the car?

If the spoiler has screws, how far off can the spoiler really go?

3m. that stuff is strong. if you use the whole roll on one piece and PRESS DOWN TIGHTLY, its never going to come off.

Yeah it will stay on. My whole body kit and trunk spoiler is tape on.

Someone can definitely rip off the 3M tape easily. I took off my trunk spoiler with one tug! That's the only problem, especially all the thief in CA.

As long as you prep it correctly 3m tape will hold really strong. Just make sure you clean off any residue including any kind of cleaner you used and then use rubbing alcohol as the final step to prep the surface.

That's exactly what I was thinking

It would suck to come outside and see your roof spoiler ripped off.
