That's what I use and it didn't come off at 130, it didn't even move a bit. Someone would have to break it to steal it. That 3M double sided tape is a lot stronger then people give it credit.

Definitely use 3M double sided tape. Heat it up when mounting it and you're set. That thing shouldn't move.

Aren't there mounting holes on the bottom of the spoiler that you can drill into the trunk to secure it down? I've never seen one up close, but I have seen people take off spoilers and they always seem to have holes in the trunk where it used to be.

**Edit - Just noticed it was talking about roof wings and not spoilers

i used 3m double sided tape, but the one with the red stip. make sure when you put it on the weather isnt wet or humid. i've had mine on for over a year and it still holds like a tiger death grip ninja. about the "getting stolen" part, no matter what you do if the thief wants it the thief will get it even in pieces...

I used 3M double sided tape and 3M adhesive promoter. Use the adhesive promoter first on the window, and the spoiler, then put the spoiler on. It won't go anywhere trust me.

3m double sided tape is the way to go. it holds up well past 100mph and a blast from carwash.
