Cheap rear window roof spoiler - Page 5

I'm curious how the white looks on a white car.

Ok, after my first order was lost or stolen I reordered. This time I ordered through Amazon. It was the same vendor, but Amazon communicates way better than ebay so I ordered through them. Anyways, product was shipped first thing the next morning. I got it last night. They definitely changed the way they package. It came in a triangle shape packing box. Much better. Looking forward to putting it on.

Did you warm weather guys have issues getting the ends to stick? Maybe its the cold weather here... my ends lifted overnight. The company was SUPER COOL about it and is sending me new vhb and adhesion promoter. Very good support!

He said to get the blade warm in the sun and try again. I found I had to bend it quite a lot to get the ends to follow the rear window contour.. then the tape was under such strain it just lifted. I guess I'll go a bit straighter at the ends next time and hope for the best.

Maybe there is a way to actually perma-bend the spoiler ala heat gun?!

It sticks fine for me.....but it'll stick better at 60 than at 30....the real key is clean surface with acetone and alcohol...and yes, in the sun, the blade will contour much better....

Mine did the same, lifted from both sides its the dam weather here in my case, i ordered some new 3M tape about the same size .3mm two strips and going to reinstall when it gets warmer here.

This is getting way out of control , mostly because everybody's reading different things. The spoiler is made of a hard rubber. A flexible hard rubber. It'll bend into a pretzel if you wanted it to. It's very easily to follow the roof, putting it on a hot sunny day and letting it sit out side for a few minutes on the tarmac before you start. There are many pictures here following the roof perfectly. Not sure why anyone would think that it won't.

I guess we can expect anything here, but putting on a hard rubber piece in sub 30° weather is a recipe for disaster. Hell, I don't even bend , in that type of weather.

Glen is right,installed mine on 70* day warmed it up infront of my heater,cleaned glass with alcohol,bent right into shape,still sticking great 2 weeks later.

Same here especially since after 1+ year of having the car I am always worried about new white mods being too white lol

Ok so I drank the kool-aid and just bought and installed one of these. Here is a shot with hyper blue so we can round out the colors shown in this thread.

Please don't judge cleanliness - its pollen season around here-yuk!
