NJ 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!

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.

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!

Here's the pics of the squirter… lol

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/samshizzle/8230363939/" title="DSC_0483 by SAMSHIZZLE, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8063/8230363939_06fbec5212.jpg" width="500" height="331" alt="DSC_0483"></a>

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

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/samshizzle/8230364617/" title="DSC_0485 by SAMSHIZZLE, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8347/8230364617_5c1642fd3e.jpg" width="500" height="331" alt="DSC_0485"></a>

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

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/samshizzle/8230365753/" title="DSC_0505 by SAMSHIZZLE, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8068/8230365753_3272346f6b.jpg" width="500" height="331" alt="DSC_0505"></a>

And the conflict I was having.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
