Sikaflex 221. Buy it off ebay. You can rock your car with the spoiler afterwards.

Spoiler sits on the top of the back window edge so drilling required.

I agree use Sikaflex it sets like concrete!!!!

I used Oraldite.

That spoiler ain't coming off in a hurry.

Just had to put the glue on the spoiler, hold it for 30 seconds, give it a couple of hours to dry off and its solid.

I'd like to see you get araldite off afterwards if it needs to come off.

working well for me so far, I know what you mean about getting it off though!

I would have used sikaflex but I couldn't get hold of it when I had the time to fit the spolier.

ahhh well

Tiger Seal does the job. Usually found at your local motor factors

i was gona use that but it takes some time to set

NoobCannon · Post by **NoobCannon** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 9:01 pm

right well ive used tiger seal, but ive found a problem, the spoiler itself is almost too big for the windscreen, if i push it flush one side [flush as in inside the screen rubber] it pops out the otherside. am i doing soemthing wrong or is this normal?

C2K · Post by **C2K** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 9:19 pm

Sure it's not a Hatch spoiler?

NoobCannon · Post by **NoobCannon** » Fri Dec 15, 2006 9:38 pm

came from a coupe lol, my windscreen just seems to be smaller.

the thing is this one has the rubber bead along the bottom of it and this seems to be wats stopping it from sitting flush. dont really wana remove the bead [espically as ive stuck the thing to the window with tiger seal now lol.

how would i go about removing the now tigersealed spoiler :S

Either cheese-wire or a long very sharp knife in careful hands!
