I just did this process for my 2012 camaro. I was so skeptical about the original tape and mounting equipment my louver set came with. So glad I didn’t install them immediately upon delivery and waited to research a little bit. This Velcro is so strong and sturdy I know I won’t have to worry about anything now. Thanks so much!!!! 👌👌👌👌

I had even tried using an adhesive promotor and I clean ed the back window 4 times but never could get any of those screws with the tape on the back to stay down so took all of them off and trashed them since they were now messed up and used the Velcro and as soon as I pressed it in it place it stuck!!!! I home the pieces stuck to the widow don’t come off when I go to clean the back window!!! Thanks for the tip dude!!! This is the best way to me to keep these things on!!!

@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat 3 года назад
No Problem at all with rain. As far as the brackets, you can use the velcro to secure the brackets to the windshield and keep using the brackets to hold the louver, or you can potentially eliminate the brackets altogether depending on your louver. The louver needs to have a relatively flat edge so the velcro on the windshield gets good grip with the velcro on the underside of the louver.

How did you install your led break lights on your back window?
@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat 4 года назад
I cover that towards the end of the video. They are are adhesive led strips, and I tapped into the brake light circuit in the trunk behind the passenger side brake light.

I know what you're saying, but I've been going on over 18 months and have never had it come off again. It's definitely worth a shot if you have one of these louvers. Thanks for watching!

I just got a white knuckle challenger, did you paint your louver? or did a shop? I was thinking of using the Mopar aersol, not sure on how many coats needed.. never painted myself..

In the 2 years I've had it on I've only removed it for cleaning maybe 3 times. I've never had it come off unexpectedly.

Is that reflective tape on the defuser?
@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat 4 года назад
Yes, I have 3m reflective red tape in several places on the car, including the spoiler, diffuser, and on the slot edges of the louver.

How do install the LED lights on the rear window? I don't get the wiring part
@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat 2 месяца назад
Wires come from the trunk to the outside of the rear window. I tape them to the edge of the window where they hidden by the louver and connect them to LED strips that have adhesive on the back. . It really wouldn't be possible without the louver being able to hide the wires.

That's 3m reflective red tape. You can find it on eBay in rolls of different lengths and widths.

@@SheenDolla just make sure the window is clean and dry, then lay down the strips so they line up with the strips on the underside of the louver. Once applied, water will not weaken it.

The adhesive on the velcro I reference in this video is really strong. Rain should not effect it. Just make sure you get the type I mention in this video.

How do you prevent it from getting stolen?
@CTHellcat
@CTHellcat 4 года назад
unfortunately there's reallly no way to stop someone from stealing any louver. Even with the original adhesive right on the window, it still wasn't that hard to take off (which is why it blew off in the first place). The only thing you could potentially do is to somehow cable lock it into the trunk.
