Im looking into getting the same window spoiler. The double sided tape sux *** so I wouldn't go with that. Someone told me to use some super glue stuff that places like Wal-Mart or Target may carry. I'll try to find more info about it and get back with you all.

Anyone know what glue we have to buy from Wal-Mart to make the spoiler bond to the window?

Anyone get this wing and figure out how to install it? I decided against buying it because I couldn't find the glue needed (either online or from Wal-Mart like someone suggested) to mount the spoiler to the glass. I would definately consider buying it at a later time, but not right now if no one is able to install it properly and have no reviews on it.

Yeah, probably did. I was talking with someone who that actually happened to. Don't think double-sided tape is strong enough, but I don't know how else it would install on the car. I don't want to use some kind of super-bonding glue because if I ever want to take it off, I wouldn't be able to. But I don't see any other way of putting it on. But it does look so sweet though..... I think I would invest in one to just try and see if I could get it to work.

Im sure it wouldn't if it did install that way, but it doesn't. The spoiler actually mounts to the upper part of the rear window. I don't think it would be a good thing to drill into the window.

Well, Im not EXACTLY sure how the spoiler mounts, but thats what Im guessing. I haven't seen any pictures that show how it is done, so Im kinda figuring the only way to install it would be double-sided tape. The picture off the WW website (if its still up) is the only one I have seen. If anyone else knows of a way that this could be installed, by all means let everyone here know. It looks like a nice mod, but still not sure if the install is worth the 140.00 and aggravation.
