Has anyone isntalled a spoiler using double sided tape only? I bought a used camo spoiler for $50 and it did not come with the hardware. So i am left to improvise.
Also are the bolt hole covers on top of the spoiler orderable from Toyota?


Any Ideas? I was thinking I could still bolt the top but am unsure.

I know this is a repost of sorts but didn't really get the answers i was looking for.

 

go to the dealership and get the mounting kit. its 30 bucks.

 

i used just double sided 3M tape on my factory spoiler and its so humid down here that it only lasted about a week and started falling off...i wouldnt do it if i were you

 

Fztcar. What comes with the install kit?

 

I used VHB tape by 3M. It is used on aircraft in place of certain rivets.

It won't come off, even in hot humid areas. Beats drilling.

Also use some adhesive enhancer for the contact.

VERY HEAVY BOND!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh yeah, the tape has to cure for at least 3 days. No driving!

 

Check your other thread PM me for factory templates and install directions.

 

pmed tanaka.

Oaktoddler, where can this vhb be bought?

 

I have a cf wing thats held on by 3m tape. It's been on for about two months and still holding. I have driven through some pretty scary wind storms also and all is good still.

 

been using tape for 3 years

 

depends, I would say tape , those holes are incredibly unpleasant to look at if you decide to get rid of it or take it off eventually. If you are certain its permanent than hardware away. good luck

 

yeah i would like to know where i could buy this hardcore tape...i just used the regular 3M from advance auto that was like $4 something a roll, like the bottom of the line stuff...

 

I got it from this guy twice.

I have a cf oem style spoiler too. Pretty light anyway and with this type of tape you are gonna be OK. I got instructions with the tape the 2nd time I ordered and it said you gotta let it cure,,,,,

 

I got adhesive promoter. I just got a single packet sponge and wiped it on the car.

 

This is the stuff!!!!

What are the chances of it really falling off your trunk hood? As this thread talks more and more about DSD-tape and adheisives, im kind of tempted to buy a wing now LOL...

 

Wow, the spoiler looks way better than none, IMHO. The stock spoiler-less rear hatch just looks like it needs something. No disrespect to non-spoiler boxes, mind you. Mine is never coming back off!

That said, the current automotive grade tapes are very strong when done correctly. Even the factory Toyota installed spoiler tape seemed very tough.

oni424: Did you get the templates? So which is it? Tape or bolts?
