Help mounting Shine Auto roof spoiler?
 
So finally my car is coming together. But I'm unsure to mount the roof spoiler. Anyone with input from experience with this would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

double sided tape =D

Post a pic of the surface that mounts to the car. I am interested in this piece as well.

SAMSHIZZLE 11-29-12 04:56 PM

I have the double sided tape. But the hatch sprayer nozzle thing is in the way. Do I cut a notch in the spoiler? Pics coming soon. Headed to the shop now.

i would just get rid of that squirter over cutting a hole. how often do you use it anyway?

Hypertek 11-29-12 05:37 PM

Shave a notch and you should be good I would think. Get some good quality 3m double sided moulding tape. Did that to my old car, that sucker won't come off. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7094679_n.jpg

Honestly, I never do. I dont think it even works. But still, I'd rather leave it on.

I got some "HEAVY DUTY" 3M double sided tape. Glad to know it wont just flop off. I never trusted that stuff too much.

Get rid of the squirter, USE AN ADHESION PROMOTOR and then just use the double sided tape and it will not come off!

SAMSHIZZLE 11-29-12 06:41 PM

Here's the pics of the squirter… lol

Notice the marks from the squirter on the bottom of the spoiler.

Tried to take a best of shot as I could with both hands full.

I remember reading on the shine website that you need to remove the nozzel (if you have a GXL or T2) to mount it. With those pics you just posted I don't think there is away around removing it to mount the piece.

dammit. Thanks for all of your help everyone.

RadioX7 11-30-12 12:27 PM

yea i had to reamove mine as well no big deal it just pops right out

3vil 12-04-12 08:56 PM

seems like a dremel tool and 5mins of your time would solve this problem

SAMSHIZZLE 12-05-12 08:19 AM

Indeed. It was solved quickly. I was just hung up on the double sided tape. The adhesion promoter was new to me. With that suggestion, it finalized the process.

GuiltySoul 12-06-12 09:08 PM

Did u install it yet? And what adhesion promoter u use?

3vil 12-07-12 01:42 AM

post a pic now that you got it mounted

SAMSHIZZLE 12-07-12 04:38 AM

Its not mounted yet officially. The name of the promoter escapes me. I'll check back later today.

SAMSHIZZLE 12-07-12 04:43 AM

Oh, Rustoleum a rustoleum aerosol can. That, and two thick generous strips of two sided tape. A little heat and it shouldnt go anywhere. When its done, I'll take tons of pics.

sodrifter 12-07-12 07:56 PM

i use bulldog

GuiltySoul 12-11-12 12:19 PM

Hey I got a question may be noobish but w/e, I just got mine yestarday and notice it has a pocket, now does the hatch slide in the pocket? Or does the spoiler just rest on top of the hatch? I notice your hatch was removed so is it easyier to install when its removed?

GuiltySoul 12-15-12 10:26 PM

Bump

SAMSHIZZLE 12-16-12 10:20 AM

I also thought it slides onto the glass with the pocket as you did. By looking at it, it appears that's the case. Now, I realize I'm stupid and know nothing. Its mounted on top of the surface of the glass.
