Should be able to go measure your back window and use the given length above?

I hope I get the same one cause when I spoke with Alisa last night she sent me this link, I told her the length was 44 7/8 too. Maybe just changed it sense they know it works with the TL now how long ago did u order it?

Well what im thinking is maybe a month ago the spoiler you have was listed as the accord but now the vendor knows it fits the TL perfectly maybe this is why the listing has changed. I specifically told here the length and that is the link she made for me.

I've ordered mine through Alisa as I'm sure many others on A'zine did and the Accord one is fine. Make sure you specify the length of 44 7/8 though.

What did everyone use to install. Mine simply came with the spoiler with the double-sided tape on the back. I've read others are prepping their back window by first cleaning with alcohol and then applying some type of liquid adhesive to the portion of the window the spoiler will be on. If so, where can I buy this adhesive? Thanks.

I had mine for a couple of months now... I love it! paint was perfect (NBP) i didn't want to use any adhesive as it would have left a permanent mark on the glass itself. SO i just used the double sided tape that they gave me and it's PERFECT!

maybe it bends so the length is actually shorter? maybe wind on highway caused this or something?

I noticed mine is not fitting as it did when I first installed it. I'm not willing to say it has "shrunk", but there is definitely more of a gap then when it was first applied.
I also used the double sided tape provided with the spoiler, which is now pulling away on the ends. Will have to reinstall with Window Weld soon.
Paint match was right on with my AM.
For $60, I can live with it.

So did you get the Accord spoiler or TL spoiler??? I want to order but don't know which one to get. Do we have any consensus on which one to order yet? If we are supposed to order the Accord roof spoiler then why do they sell a TL 3rd Gen roof spoiler?

Please help unconfuse me!

Thanks!

Wind on the highway would not cause a piece of solid material to shrink lol...do you see the trunk lip spoilers shrinking due to wind?? They're basically the same piece in this instance...possibly not adhering properly with just 3M tape is making it move and causing the illusion of a larger gap or shrinking? Idk, would that be possible? I think we need pics on this roof spoiler shrinkage...

If it was really physically shrinking it would start to show on the paint fairly quickly i'm sure in the forum of wrinkles etc.

I have not installed mine yet (hopefully this weekend ) but I think the WDP color match is excellent.

well i meant like probably wind pushed the center of the roof spoiler and so it pulled the sides inner just a lilttle bit if that makes any sense

I don't know if i'm diggin this one. The upward angle it takes looks a bit awkward too me.

It's a bit more, but the Sonora spoiler shaved down a little looks really clean.

For the price you definitely have to consider this one tho.
