I think this is the best video how-to for tape-applied trunk spoilers. Well done!

@Luke-hw3ne Год назад

going to do this soon, wouldnt doubt it to ever fly off but its the only thing in the back of my mind right now lmao

Nah, that adhesive is like concrete once it dries. It's the same stuff tthat holds your emblems on and those last hundreds of thousands of miles.

@lylew7407 Год назад

Thanks for the video, it helped me install my carbon fiber spoiler. I was curious if there will always be a little bit of flex on the spoiler after install? I can move my spoiler a little when I pull on it, not sure if that is normal, or if there should be no movement after the install with 3M.

@sa-iu1cc 6 месяцев назад

u needed 3m and car adhesive that’ll lock it in I had mine redone bc the sides kept lifting w just tape but it never moved after i did a quick layer of adhesive w it

@lylew7407 6 месяцев назад

@@sa-iu1cc I did use the adhesion promoter along with the 3M, and there is still a little bit of play, but that's if I am pulling down on it with a little force, which I am told is to be expected. Been almost a year and spoiler is still in tact!

@tonykari5124 Месяц назад

Great video. 8 ordered that same spoiler myself & used the 3M tape but I pulled too hard on one corner (the right side) & I pulled the film off the tape & now I got a small gap on that corner 😢. IDK what to do 2 fix it. I don't want to pull the entire spoiler off. If that's Even possible with the 3M tape. Please lmk if there's a way 2 fix just that small 1/8 corner

@therealdjrichlove 20 дней назад

Same thing happened to me. I think I might just buy U-POL Black Tigerseal and squeeze some in the corner that is lifting. May need to use masking tape around the edge on the body of the car for a few minutes in case some seeps out.

@DanielPera-vi1xg Год назад

What about temperature? Does it need to be a warm day, or can you just use a heat gun on the spoiler and trunk to do the job?

@captainargus4125 Год назад

Probably late now but for anyone else with this question, yes its best to do it on a warmer day or apply a little heat to the body and spoiler so you get better adhesion. Just a normal hair dryer will do as it does not need to be piping hot.

@poiBoi 4 месяца назад

I live in a hot environment where the tape does not work because of the heat summertime every year without fail is there a better way to mount the spoiler??

@enzomatik 3 месяца назад

betalink for a permanent solution. 3m tape with adhesion promoter & also bolt in.

@tonicfortiredeyes185 Год назад

Must an adhesion promotor be necessary to apply or can 3M tape be adequate enough given that proper cleaning has been done prior with alcohol

@TonyGoetter Год назад

Excellent! Great instructions. Thank you.

@mrcuboid 2 года назад

Your instructions and guides online advise to buff/polish the car beforehand but all you did was clean it with alcohol. Won't it peel and lift over time without a proper buff of the trunk?

@dennisreynolds6915 Год назад

Just clay bar it and use 3m adhesion promoter it will stick like crazy. I used a 1/4" spot to test it with adhesion promoter and it was stuck on to the point I got scared it would break the spoiler

@karkule5919 Год назад

Just like car emblems or side moldings on a car, you don't see those things peeling off, that tape is seriously strong. But the fake tapes can be very bad, so always use 3M VHB (very high bonding) tape, and if you have a roller use it before you peel the backing off, and after you attach the trim to the car.

@jeffmartin1533 2 года назад

I have a trunk lid spoiler for a 2001 S2000. There is a slightly raised lip around the exterior of the base of the spoiler and then the rest of the base is recessed. Question is, do I place the 3M tape on the raised lip (which is only 1/4 inch wide) or do I place the tape on the edge of the recessed area? I've placed a test piece of tape on the recessed area, and it looks to sit flush with the raised lip. Any help, advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

@RWCarbon 2 года назад

Hey Jeff, we don't work on S2000's here unfortunately but our tech recommends to mock the spoiler up on the vehicle, find which parts make contact to the actual trunk, and apply tape and promoter there on those areas.

@jeffmartin1533 2 года назад

@@RWCarbon Thanks for the information. So I assume it is acceptable for the edge of the tape to be seen once installation is complete? Thanks again.

WTF ??? . You NEVER tape any form of body mouldings on a car that is just a big no no. Heat exertion softens the adheaive on the tape and makes it so easy too remove . I hope that was a cheap spoiler . You should be using Upol Tigerseal not 3M Tape
