Got my spoiler recently and wanted to avoid drilling. I put it on and noticed the sides were coming up. I bought some of that Permatex RTV silicone but it still won't stay down. Now I have all this silicone residue on my trunk =[

Need to figure out how to clean this up now. Any ideas? I may just go the drill method afterwards.

I drilled and mine is still raised a little on the corners.

 

silicone should peel off without much trouble.

with the proper 3M mounting tape that could be corrected.

 

@opboarding, does yours raise as much as the picture? There's a huge gap for me =[

I used the tape that came with the spoiler which I thought was 3M. Maybe I'll rip it off and re-do it with 3M tape then.

 

if you do some research you will find that 3M makes like 500 different mounting tapes. get a thick one.....at least .045. and look for heavy duty.
heeltoe prolly could hook you up with some.

what you find at home depot or local auto parts prolly wont cut it.
if you have a local body shop supply they MAY have it.

lastly, if you want it to stick forever get some 3M primer for the tape.

 

No, mine is way less than that. Mine is raised maybe 1/8" just at the tip pointing towards the front of the car.

 

Mine is raised... no one notices. Not even me.
