Got advice from an auto body expert because I didn't want to drill holes into my trunk lid to install the spoiler. First thing you need to do is to use sandpaper and rough up the bottom of the spoiler, Then you need to use a degreaser like R-M 900 to clean off the spoiler. Once that is done you need to use an adhesion promoter like 3M 4298 on the spoiler before sticking on the double sided tape. Make sure you try to cover as much of the spoiler with double stick tape as you can. DO NOT use the tape provided with the spoiler. Make sure you use 3M Super Strength Molding Tape it will say ideal for attaching vehicle body side moldings, trim and emblems. You also need to do these steps on the trunk lid. Use sandpaper or a brillo pad to rough up the paint on the trunk lid. You don't want to take off too much paint. Just scratch it up slightly. Clean with a degreaser, then use an adhesion promoter. Peel off all the double stick tape covering and place it on the trunk lid correctly the first time. Its best to use a second person to install because you only get one chance. Once the spoiler is on the trunk lid press down firmly and use a microfiber cloth to push down and move along the top of the spoiler to fully seat to the lid. Use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat up the tape along the edges of the spoiler. Wait 72 hours for the tape to fully cure before you drive in the rain or carwash. Your spoiler should stay on permanently now!!
Thanks. I don't want to try to sandpaper my paint tho
One of the most helpful comments ever on TH-cam. Better advice than this video!
I am a molding specialist. I have installed over 5000 pieces in a 15yr time span. There is nothing wrong with the way this guy said to do it. The guy said to sand the clear coat or something like that don't want to go back and read what he said again LOL. That might be better than just putting the adhesive promoter but I never ever had sand the clear coat that would have been an extra step. It would have cost me more time but the other reason was all the cars that I worked on was brand new I work for several dealership and had several account so I could not do that yes it might be better to do that but in my opinion there is no need to do that. Using the adhesive promoter is good enough it should be good enough I have done thousands of cars sometime without the adhesive promoter and some time with it whenever I use the ahesive promoter I never rarely had problem. I highly recommend using the adhesion promoter. I will try to help you guys out and tell you how to do it if it was me. Using alcohol would not be an option for me it does not take off the grease and wax off your car. I use a grease and wax remover like prepsol clean the surface and then put on the adhesion Promoter on the surface off the trunk where the molding will go. Only put the adhesive promoter(ap) where The molding will go because you will see the ap if the spoiler is not covering where you put it on so only on the spot where the 3M tape will be making contact. Number two the hotter the better it will activate the 3M tape in my opinion anyting above 65 degrees is ideal. If the car trunk is facing the sun you can get away with even 55° cuz it will heat up the sun will make the trunk hot. So do it on a day where it is warm. Other than that you can follow the video he did pretty much everything I would do in the video except towards the end I will take a wet rag and put pressure as I slide it back and forth on the entire rear spoiler. One of us I would like to give is to not skip putting on the AP the AP really really really helps a lot to improve the bond. Also make sure the surface is clean and free of wax and grease very very important that is the reason why I use pretzel alcohol does not remove wax and grease like prepsol does. I do not know when I will come back to as a any one of your guys questions but if you do have a question you're more than welcome to ask me again I have installed over 5000 pieces in a 15-year. Working on mostly brand new cars out the showroom and some cars that was delivered. Now again there is nothing wrong with the way that the gentleman said to do it there is nothing wrong with sanding down to clear coat I believe that will make it stick much better but that is not necessary you do not need to do that that he's a promoter and the 3M tape is very very strong as far as in contact and they should hold the molding in place if done properly it can stay on your car for 10 years or 20. Now as far as the tape I believe the gentleman also set you can use a different type yes he is absolutely correct there are tapes much more better then the tape that is on the spoiler and I'm pretty sure I have a roll of the tape that he's talking about 3M makes many many different types of tape but to be honest I always use the tape that came with the molding it's good enough to use that take the only time I use the special sticky tape is when I'm doing a repair. Meaning if I worked on the car or someone else worked on the car and the molding came off when I take off the 3M tape off of that molding I put a fresh 3M tape on and the tape that I use is the one that he's describing. I usually call it the black 3M tape because the color of that tape is black vs Grey
You don't need to really do any of this literally just get some 3m automotive double sided tape. Cover the whole thing in a few rows. Stick it on hold it down for a few minutes and boom you're good
ok probably the best tutorial on the planet
Great Tutorial! I bought one of your spoilers and this video helped me with the installation for sure
Sounds great! We're glad to hear that and we'd love to see how your car turned out if you have any pictures...
Oh wow! This is really cool. I need this for my commodore. Hopefully i can get it to Australia. 😊 thanks for the video.
so just 3m and your silicone adhesive.is that safe enough?
Great video. Helped me out a lot today. 👍
Brilliant, thanks!!
Nice performance. I want to install decorative roof rails like oem on a tucson's 2018 roof. Will the same method (3m VHB and silicone) do the job or not? :/
want to know what makes it stay even MORE? emblem and trim adhesive on TOP of the double side tape. the bitch aint coming off. AND AND it glides a tiny bit when you put it on for about 20 seconds, so you can make very find adjustments before it starts to dry!!!
I'm currently trying to install a duckbill spoiler from a Lexus is250 to a 08 Accord coupe because I saw it on a TH-cam video and thought it looked really nice.same process,no drill just wondering if I should use the 3m tape that comes with it and some silicone adhesive aswell? Where can I get the adhesive?
Is it possible to attach the VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CUSTOM POST NO LIGHT SPOILER (1998-2011), which is a drill, with 3m? I have a 98 beetle and I am looking for a no drill option. Thanks.
Very nice!
Have you got the vw t5 spoilers. I have the barn door
Do I have to use that GT product 2100 a hundred percent silicone or can I use another variant of a hundred percent silicone
Won’t the tape degrade over time? In 4 years will you have to redo it?
Would this work for a ducktail spoiler?
I had installed a lip spoiler on my car a few days ago but it seems that a small portion did not stick properly. How do I handle that?
Hello do have for all cars custom spoiler.
That's awesome video. Very informative thanks for sharing.
I just stuck mine to the car and peeled the adhesive as I line it up and then it fit perfectly. Didn't have to use tape to line it up or anything
How is it 2 years later? Did it fall off?
King H it’s still on there super good ! Even after rain and snow. The adhesive is stronger than you think on these things
Have you gone through car washes at all?
@@Ty-pg2wd yup plenty of times. 3 years later and it’s still on there like white on rice.
Thanks appreciate that
What other adhesive do you recommend since i can’t get a hold of this one
The stock spoiler on my 08 TL type S is loose on one end, how can I remove and re-seal, advise please.
if your doing this deep in winter, with temps in the garage at under 4.0 degrees celcius (40 deg Fahrenheit)
do you recommend using a hair dryer or a heat gun to go over at the end to help the glue on the double sided tape? or will that actually weaken and shorten its lifespan by doing so?
@eeiko321...,
I know this was a year ago but,
I would heat up the boot lid metal to indoors summer temps(20°c) before fitting spoiler on, oh, & use a laser pointer style thermometer for accuracy. To hot might be as bad as to cold.
What about car washes? Is it safe for them?
The Red liner Grey 3m tape is better ...As long as you prep your surface right you wont need any glue.
How do you remove this adhesive silicone in the future? What's the best way? Thank you
degreaser or similar
is this safe? has there been a case of the spoiler falling off while driving? also what glue did you use?
on top of the double side tape, use 3m emblem and trim adhesive. put a nice line right down the middle of the spoiler. right in the middle of the double side tape. this will allow you to put the spoiler on the car while it sticks AND have about 20 to 30 seconds of very very slightly wiggle room to make VERY fine adjustments if you are a perfectionist like me. after about 50 seconds, it's about 75 percent dry. overnight, it's on their like cement. you can only take it off with a heat gun on high, so be sure you do this correctly
Will the 3m vhb tape work to mount a deflector on the rear windsheild? The 3m tape that came on it keeps lifting up on the edges of the deflector and it separates from the glass.
use 3m emblem and trim adhesive in addition to the tape! it's fantastic combination!
How long do we wait before pushing the car pass 100+ i dont want my spoiler flying away
Lol
Is the adhesive silicone safe on the paint?
hey will this tape work on a mid spoiler for a 92-95 civic hatchback?
What about car washes?
Nice
What glue did you use?
I don't know it was this easy.
could you show me how install toyota yaris 2003 spoiler ,thanks
Amir Adibmehr why tf would you put a spoiler on a yaris
can you show us how to install a no drill spoiler on a dodge charger please?
same procedure just different shape
Just don’t drill it and use bubble gum Instead of silicone.
Lamarcia Knight you’ll need Dodge Charger spoiler fluid
🤣🤣🤣 yall so mean.....
this is the type of dumb question that drives you nuts at work, school, etc, etc. Great Job Lamarcia lol
Won’t the silicone damage the paint
Good question anyone know the answer?
Yea it does if u take it off the glue sticks on it i had it n it sucked
There are types of sealents called a “neutral sealent” it doesn’t have the acids regular sealants have. I don’t know if that’s what they used, but regular silicon adhesives that aren’t a neutral type will eat paint and cause rust.
do you have any video for 370z? im looking to buy from u guys.
Gem Vidal your just drive it straight into a pond. easy as that :)
Gem Vidal exactly!!!!
Does 3m tape stick well to chrome?
Will this work on wing spoilers as well? i.e. wrx sti wings
Masterxing12 I don’t think so, you might have to drill on, I wouldn’t recommend 3m tape for wrx, evo, integra wings etc.
Fixing to find out 😂. I’m about to install a carbon fiber gurney flap on my STI probably blow off on the highway…
@@thermalnoize large spoilers need to drilled in there's going to be way too much force against it
i have a spoiler that needs installing.. but it requires 4 drill holes
I need help

How is it holding?Is 3mm tape worthy?please let me know.
3M adhesive tapes are about the best you can buy. The adhesive and material will last 10+ years in most conditions, and potentially longer in many cases. Many factory/OEM auto glass features installed on vehicles at the factory use 3M straps and adhesives.
and now how to take it off
What silicone do you use on this?
tiger seal
How do i take mine off on my 07 pt cruiser gay af on that car
bWAHAHAHHA
Won't the stickiness of the tape and adhesive wear out over time? You're driving at 70 on the motorway and suddenly the spoiler flies off the car and causes a pile up.
mnc365 Not if you install it correctly by first cleaning the surface with alcohol and then using pure silicone with the adhesive tape. And if the spoiler does fly off, which I highly doubt, it'll be at least 20 years down the road and you will have gotten rid of the car by then.
Not likely. There are different grades of mounting tape and I'm sure this isn't the cheap low strength stuff. Besides as you open the deck lid you'll be able to see on a regular basis that it's still in tact.
I'd advise to drill the spoiler with a large screw onto your car instead of this. This won't do any good here on the highways (germany)
I think that's the point of these new lightweight NO DRILL spoilers. They're pretty light and the 3M tape holds up securely. Some people just want to play around with their car's looks and sometimes change their minds on the style of spoiler they want on the car. Drilling would just leave ugly holes on trunk if you one day decide to go spoiler free.
Do you guys paint match?
Yes, we paint match right here in our facility! All we need is a registered paint code and we can get a perfect paint match for any vehicle
+DAR Spoilers Awesome! Thank you very much for the timely response!

Why are you saying that it is a no drill spoiler when you can clearly see the holes for the nuts on each side??
i don't see any holes...oops, i do see the holes but I think the spoiler came with predrilled holes which he didn't use
All spoilers have those, but they are not for installation of any kind.
After using that paper (towel) you must have made scratches
How do you remove it?
taitlawrence
pull really hard
taitlawrence I'm guessing you installed yours wrong
dental floss
Heat gun and floss or a string made of something strong and you just saw off the spoiler basically ripping the double-sided tape from your trunk and off your spoiler
This spoiler is nothing it is only increasing the look
some add downforce.
Spoiler not as shiny as car
Spoiler Alert ! ... 🤣😂🤣
NO NO NO NO
