did yours fall off? please tell me you have a funny story of how you were racing an M3 and the roof spoiler turned into a projectile missile...

This is what I would do.
Clean surface good and remove any wax or chemicals (ie: RainX). Use 3M Heavy Duty double stick tape (gray color tape with red vinyl backing). You can find them at Home Depot or Lowes. Install spoiler with tape and let set overnight...tape ends down. I'd placed some big telephone books on the both ends of the spoiler..and in the middle as well....then place 25 lbs dumbbells on top the telephone books to avoid any possible gaps between the spoiler and rear glass (do this only if you are sure the dumbbells won't slide off your car).

great advice, except i don't have dumbbells at the house... i'll use my mother in law instead... she can also keep the car warm like a chicken egg to help dry out my newly tinted windows ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

If you want to do it, do it
No one listens to me in here anyway, I just think it looks too ricey like the WRX rear spoiler. And how much downforce does it really apply under higher speeds? Whatever you do, show pics and keep us posted homie

Not completely off. I was driving down the freeway and heard a rip so I pulled over to see what happened and didn't see anything until I looked on my back window and saw half the spoiler lose and the other half still attached. I did a facepalm

Which roof spoiler did you go with?
