Spend the time to do it right the first time so you don't face unforeseen circumstances in the future.
OP I would just remove the entire spoiler and redo the install with new 3m tape. There is no real short cut to this process. I know some members have tried to use a different type of tape like loctite but the results have varied.
Also I would do it right away. Depending on where you live, I wouldn't want the left side not sticking to the rear glass to be an open invitation for thieves to steal the spoiler.
Good luck.

OK, will have to wait for a not so busy weekend to start the "big" job.

No, definitely not hard at all, scraping out the old tape that's what I hate. It's messy because you have to use goo gone in order to remove it thoroughly and be carefully not to scratch it while doing it. I don't know why but the side of the 3M double-sided tape that sticks to the spoiler holds pretty good but the side that sticks to the rear window glass always tends to become loose after a while.
