HFP Side Spoiler Problem

SiLvErLIgHT06 · 02-04-2007, 07:05 PM

There's about an inch of my right side HFP side under spoiler that's coming off, meaning it's not glued to the body. Anyway i can fix this myself?? or do i have to take it to the dealer?? Thanks

the dealer will fix it, they are use to it by now. lots of people come in with the same problem about the HFP, mainly the front spoiler, not so much the sideskirts or the rear.

3M double sided tape.

dont use glue.

No glue, only DST as stated above. Go see the dealer...

This is the main reason I don't have that plastic crap stuck on my car.

That glue/ double sided tape seems way too hack to put on a car like this.

I've had mine in for the HFP kit twice and they fixed it. The third time I did it myself with DST

As opposed to what... glue?

Drilling holes into the side fenders?

I had the same issue with my old EP3 that had the HFP kit installed from the factory. The installers were probably not cleaning the area-to-be-taped well enough.

If you're diong it yourself, The area needs to be cleaned thoroughly with rubbing alcohol before using the 3M automotive doube-sided tape which should be available at any auto parts store. Having a hair dryer or heat gun will come in handy as well since a warm panel will help in adhering...
