Getting the ATLP V1 Spoiler to fit

Hi,

I bought the ATLP V1 roof spoiler recently and wanted to know what is the best way to get this thing to fit. The right side has a decent sized gap. I searched but could not find much information on anyone with the V1.

Please tell me what I can do to get this to fit.

Thanks

what if you center it...would the gap be less noticeable?

Preheat your oven to 375°.
When ready, place your spoiler on two baking sheets and covered in aluminum foil.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes.
Wearing oven mitts and wool socks, remove from oven and proceed to stand on one end while holding the other end in your oven mitt...give a big "heave ho" towards the heavens.
Continue until you reach your desired length.
I have no idea really, I'm just bored on the toilet and this is the image I'd like to see played out.
Probably should take it to a body shop or ask the Seller what's the deal with the short spoiler.

Should have been more clear.

It fits fine length wise but does not sit flush one side. The side is raised up.

his suggestion to heat it up, might actually work to help contour it better.

I wouldn't recommend 375F though, :-D. Maybe.....125-175?

I am sorry I will describe.

The roof spoiler fits fine, left side or right side, fits perfect. But it lifts up on the left side when its flat on the right side, and when its flat on the left side it lifts up on the right side. It can't stay evenly flat.

The length is fine.

Guilty, I know...he was joking in his response...but I'm not...I bet heating it up carefully with a heat gun will allow you to contour it as necessary, retardedorange.

Seriously...put some strong epoxy on one side...tape it down...once that sets...(the left side) then slowly warm it up in the middle to the right and then put epoxy on the right side and once it sits, then tape it down...let the epoxy set for a day with a brick on a towel on each side to keep them down...then it should stay.

this is all in theory, I've never had to do it.
