Default 2IS Roof Spoiler

Hi all,

Require some assistance here. I have gotten one roof spoiler for my 2IS. For those of you whom have the roof spoiler, may I ask what did you use to stick it to the glass panel? Did you use the 3M double-sided tape, or the silicon?

Cheers...

3M double-sided tape works just fine.

Thank you for your advise.... My concern is that it will fly off one day when I am driving on the highway. It's ok if it damages my car. But will be in deep ****** if it hits a biker behind me...

It won't. I have the JUN-TW roof spoiler stuck on with 3M double-sided tape, and it's not going anywhere.

Most people use the 3M Scotch Mount Molding Tape.

This, this or any 3M VHB double sided clear tape would do the trick.

How does this look from inside the car, can you see the tape on the rear window?

^No, you can barely even see the roof spoiler from inside the car, much less any tape.
