Default UGO roof spoiler

Those that have installed the UGO roof spoiler can you post pics of exactly where you placed it? I am wondering if anyone left a gap in the rear or if they mounted it flush to where the roof meets the rear windshield?

Yes, the diagram included with the spoiler shows it should be mounted flush with the edge of the roofline, right where the trim around the rear windshield meets the edge of the roofline.

Thanks for the help. You guys used the mounting tape supplied right? I have the diagram that Manaray posted a while ago on how to position the tape on the spoiler.

Yes, that's the way to do it. Keep the tape about 1/8" back from the edge all the way around. Leave the backing strip on the tape as you apply it to the spoiler so the adhesive surface that will contact the roof is covered until you're ready to mount the spoiler. There is a small gap at each end when the spoiler is centered. Make yourself some shims of eual thickness to use at each end to help you center the spoiler as you position it.
