Default How to put back the spoiler for Expo?!?

Haha, I sound like an idiot, but would a regular double sided tape (instead of $15 honda foam/tape) + 4 screws be enough at the track?

I hate that flipping spoiler and never have it onthe car, but for this event only, it's going back up.

I guess I just don't know if a generic double sided tape will hold the spoiler under full air pressure.

Craig? rest of team RS?

Get two sided foam carpet tape from Home Depot. Like 2-3 bucks a roll.

I don't see why reg double tape would not work, the only neg thing I could think of it might not come off to easy later.

I have some 'stuff' (with PTFE) that will work.. it has been under my 'fin' for over a year.

I will bring some with me to CMP for you to look at.

Alright, so when you have some really good sticking doublesided tape on there (the kind a body shop would use) and can't get the wing off, what do you do?

Chris - who wants his wing on.... but doesn't think based on prior attempts it would come off anyways without mad force.

why dont you use the 4 nuts provided with the wing instead?
It will work a lot better than the sealing rubber.

I'm using those. But, wanted to make sure that the tape will keep the wing on the trunk w/o moving around.

I just put mine back on for the EXPO so I wouldn't look like the odd-ball (hold the odd-ball comments)
