Ok, just installed it. I noticed that it wasn't centered to my liking (my wife thought it was fine, but I'm a perfectionist). So I took it off and came off with just one pull. I centered it and it looks perfect now. Question - would taking it off and back on be a problem later?

Also, the right side is sticking up higher compared to the left. No matter what I do, it doesn't want to go down. I'm sure it's because the spoiler is not perfect to the curvature of the glass.

I've bought the jun-tw for my car and it was PERFECT. I bought a replica for a friend as a gift. The fake one fits. But it's like you described one side is higher because the spoiler is kinda twisted. You get what you pay for. People are satisfied with it only cause it's not that big of a deal to them. But me as a perfectionist myself cannot stand s*** like that.

authentic doesnt mean perfect. theres going to be some authentics out that that have bad fitment. both replica and authentic are made out of a moldings. but reviews from people suggest that the replicas are almost as good as the authentic for the jun tw roof spoilers.

hmmm, so does anyone know of a good seller for the Jun-TW roof spoilers on ebay then? I see a bunch of Carlson spoilers, but I want the Jun-TW.

just installed mine with double sided tape
i warp the bottom with 1 long tape, now i think i should do it with 2 tapes so i can leave a gap in the middle for water to flow away in case some water got under the spoiler...

how bad can water / car wash damage the tape's sealing?

After about 4 weeks of install, apparently water has seeped in because on my left side the adhesive is weakening. Solutions to get the spoiler to stick back on?
