I have heard from a lot of people that the 3d carbon REAR LIP SPOILER, has started to rip off on its ends from the trunk surface. I used the 3M supplied by 3D carbon and I am also having this problem (it is ripping off). Can I have any suggestions on how can I make it to hold in there? What have others with this same problem done to resolve the issue? Is there a good adhesive out there that I can use?

How long has your spoiler been on? I know its been discussed before that after a year they have been pulling up in the heat.

its been about a year..that's correct....
after a long winter here in ohio..and now the summer, its pulling up on the corners..what can I do ?

remove it with some solvent and re apply it with double sided tape, not much you can do.

Just need something to remove the old adhesive before you lay the new tape down.

Yah sorry i was not more clear you need a solvent to remove the old adhesive, if you go to any auto part store / wallymart etc you should be able to find a cleaning product that removes Tar and things like that which are safe for car paint. If you dont want to buy a solvent you can wait for the car to get hot in the sun and use some windex.

Mine peeled up, I re-applied and then it started peeling up once again. It sucks.

Goo-gone works well to take off the old adhesive. It's non-toxic and is citrus based, so it won't damage your paint.

interesting enough, it has been a year and a half since I bought/installed the M3 style lip and i still holds strong at all ends and parts of the lip....

If I were you, I'd contact 3D Carbon...

Yes but you live in California, I have harsh winters.

The dealer didn't install it so I don't know what to do? Probably a bodyshop, but grr more $ for something so simple.

... chances are Ford noticed this and decided on their own spoiler, thus the different '08 spoiler.

I just noticed mine has again, separated from the trunk. 2nd time. Real bad.

I guess I haven't noticed much since it's on the passenger side and I haven't used my trunk much.

Regardless, it'll be interesting to see what is done on their part.
