I have an Aero spoiler fitted to R50. I fitted this myself a few months ago.
I noticed last night when washing the car that the spoiler is slightly loose at one side and there's a fair amount of movement.
The spoiler lifts up on the right hand side, and when you push it down, water comes out.
Obviously I can't just leave it the way it is, as I don't want to see it get ran over by the car behind me!
I would appreciate any advice on the best way to resolve the problem, does the spoiler need taking off and refitting? Do I just need to add more glue in the slight gap that lifts up?
I guess I will have to remove the spoiler, if this is the case, how would you fit it again, would you use glue or 3M tape?
This is the glue that I used to fit it, BODY KIT SPOILER FIXING ADHESIVE GLUE CAR BODY REPAIR | eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BODY-KIT-SPOILER-FIXING-ADHESIVE-GLUE-CAR-BODY-REPAIR-/220446791248?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item3353a71650)
At the bottom of the description of this particular product, the seller says, "FOR AN EVEN STRONGER ADHESIVE SEE MY OTHER BODYKIT ADHESIVE MS POLYMER" - Does this mean that I didn't buy a strong enough glue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot! :frown:
