Default Wald spoiler problem!!

hey wussuP! i just got the wald trunk spoiler! at first i went with 3 m tape and it wasnt strong enff. later on i got it molded but the guy only molded the edge that was sticking up. The guy kinda ****ed it up, now i can see the glue on the side.

What should i do!!

should I get someone to remove the super glue or just fill the gap?! I will post a picture later..

i would go back to him ASAP. If i was you, and i saw this when the car was finished, i would have spotted it right away and confronted him. But he either put too much and it spilled out or he unsuccessfully molded it. I think for molding it they would use bondo.
