Without drilling into the back hatch, what could I use to mount the rear spoiler? Need advice on what kind of tape to use

 

If you are just going to use tape, there's a real strong double sided tape used in racing. It's even better than the 3M red exterior tape. For the OEM spoiler, I'd still recommend drilling and sealing though. If you do tape only, make sure the temps of the metal, spoiler, and tape are all above 72ºF for maximum effectiveness.

 

I dont really see why you wouldn't WANT to put the screws in.
Install is cake and takes literally 20-30 minutes.

The risk of catching some windy day and it flying off and killing someone lol
or a thug kid pulling it off and jacking it.

ANYWHO....

tons of + and -'s listed in the above (and was on page one)

 

I live in va i will install it for you for 40$.I work for toyota.

 

I 3M taped mine on. The tape is starting to give way a little. It's still solid, but it looks kinda weird.

I'm drilling the top holes this spring.

 

^^^Drill that badboy on!

 

Drill plus 3M tape

 

I'd be happy to istall it for you...free of course
you can look at mine first if you would like

 

actually you do need the templates and hardware kit..
2 plastic inserts and 2 rubber bolt ancors

did you take off the 2 plastic nipples that were installed on your spoiler?
they are supposed to fit into the plastic inserts..which are supposed to be mounted on the verticle surface of th rear hatch

 

3M taped for coming up on 2 years. No lifting.

 

Never had a problem with mine. I used 3m tape.

 

Got the spoiler in with all hardware, so I drilled. Was hella nervous though putting a bit to new paint.

After you put up the template AND check it's right, use a metal punch to make a small divot so the drill bit won't walk.

 

did you get your spoiler from a dealer? and did i come with the template? i would like to put one on the box but i also would be a little nervous about drilling on my car

 

I removed the two nipples. I have the hardware floating around still, but no template. I might just try re-taping it.

 

I still have the templates..find your hardware
and let me know
I can either do it for you or send you the templates

 

Where in WI are you?

 

right across the border..

Kenosha

 

I might take you up on that...

 

it's up to you..

just let me know...
