For those with oem.thing or other ebay roof spoilers, did you tape 3M double sided tape all across the spoiler or just the sides? Is it ok to tape over the windshield? Will it affect the defroster? TIA.

 

I personally dont have one on my IS just yet but it will not affect the defroster since the defroster is on the inside of the rear window not on the outside

 

def run tape all the way across so it's secured on the rear windshield.

I've had mine on for about 3 years and no problems with the rear defroster.

 

I have an oem.thing spoiler in 1G0 - the color match was perfect. I used the 3M double sided tape supplied with the spoiler. You can also buy it by searching for 3M 03616 Scotch-Mount. It works very well.

For mounting, I applied the tape all the way around the outside. It's very moldable so you can follow the curves and contours without cutting the tape. Just doing the sides won't be enough. It mounts directly onto rear windshield - personally, I lined it up exactly with the window which leaves a gap between the glass and roof. The defrosters are on the inside, so you won't have any issues.

Just a few words of advice: clean the window very well and do not remove the backing on the tape until you are ready to mount. Once the backing is removed, mount it immediately. Let the adhesive cure for at least a day in warm weather before taking your baby out onto the highway.

 

Thanks guys will install asap once I get it by the end of next week lol
