What would you suggest for me to use as the preferable adhesive for my carbon fiber roof spoiler in the Arizona heat? My car color is SGF and temperatures here can top 120 degrees in the summer. Any advice is much appreciated!

I heard the 3M stuff is supposed to be really good. But I haven't been anywhere near 120 degree heat.

Car Manufacturers used them to attach side moldings, window moldings, and door pillar covers.

For my old work:

I know my 3m taped Satellite/GPS antenna withstood about close 107 during a heat wave in CA summer. These were like construction helmet attached to the roof of your car and weighed close to 5 lbs. I drove freeways at 70MPH speed and the thing never blown off.

I think they can withstand up to 70 lbs of force... but also depends what product line you buy from 3m

Thanks for the input! I think I'll go for the heavy-duty 3M double sided tape.

That stuff from 3m that you're wanting is called VHB. It's a really expensive but great adhesive. You need to make sure the surface is clean before you apply it. Also it takes 24 hrs for it to fully set.

^ +1 on that. I live in Dubai where it gets up to 55 Degrees Centigrade in summer. I have used the 3M VHB to stick my CF roof spoiler on. Haven't hit the heat yet bu I have no doubts that it will definitely stick on there.
