just bought the Paradox Rear Window Spoiler. After reading people's reviews i thought the double side tape would hold up thru at least ten washes. well, during my second wash the spoiler came off. i guess i am going to buy some more 3m double sided tape, unless there is another brand tape that would be stronger??? anyother ideas if you had this same problem???

 

I am having the same problem but I am planning to use 3M Tape hopeully that will be enough.

 

There are many different kinds of double sided tape. I had the 3m with the red backing on it. I washed the car endless amounts of times, and it never came off....

 

The 3M tape with the red backing is strong as shyit. It's called molding tape.

The same thing happened with the OEM tape on my rear window spoiler. But this red stuff has yet to show any sign of letting go. Been on about 9 months or more.

 

I've used the original tape on my rear window spoiler and it has not come off nor can I move it in the slightest bit. You just have to make sure the surface is clean before applying it, cleaning with alcohol or alcohol based cleaner helps. 3M has an adhesion promoter, if you use it, it will hold even better.

 

Also it would be good if you used a hair dryer to warm up the tape before you put it on. That is what I did with my window vents

 

maxmojo - when will you be getting the half size for the 5th gen in. On your site it says out of stock

 

i'm looking to get the half size too. maybe we can do a group deal. what is the consensus on this?

 

I am in if he has the half size

 

anyone else interested? are these things going to be in stock anytime soon?

 

How come nobody likes the full size one? I'll admit it looks best on dark colored cars, though.......

 

I have some half sized ones arriving in 2-3 weeks. I do not know if I will have enough for a group deal. I'll know when it arrives.

 

same here. the tape was already attached when the rws came to my door. no problems yet.

 

i like it fine, but i just think that it's too much for the back of the max. takes away from the rest of the car. just my opinion

 

maxmojo - thanks for the heads up. When you get those in pm me I am a definite on buying the half size

 

I like it... looks pretty darned good on your car...

I bought the full size b/c i saw a pic of you car... hell yeah!!!!

but anyways,

"The 3M tape with the red backing... called molding tape," is this stuff available from Home Depot???

 

let me know when you get them in. keep us posted on whether you can do a deal. thanks.

 

Thanks, Puppetmaster.

PoW, that tape is available many places. Auto stores, Wal-Mart, probably Home Depot, too. Post pics when it's installed!

 

I just experienced the same problem with mine, only on a little section of it started to come off, I went to autozone and got the 3M molding tape and that ish aint movin at all.....

 

i got a half size one, went through several car washes, still there, you just gotta make sure the surface is real clean.

 

I put mine on back in the summer and didn't have any problems with it until a small twister came ripping through the valley and left 1/3 in place, another 1/3 in pieces in place, and another 1/3 blew out to sea. 70+mph winds were supposedly hitting the back of my car that day. Thank goodness nothing else broke or hit my car.

 

anyone have pictures of the halfsize? i think the fullsize is so much better, it stands out instead of sticks out like a soar thumb. half size is the sunroof one no?

bluebrekr, it looks sweet on your car.. i wanna see one this summer fo' shure

 

I can't find Paradox Rear Window Spoilers any where online. Can anyone give me a web site to check out????

 

Thanks, bro...

The half size is for the rear window also (not for the sunroof) I don't have a pic, but the half size looks too 'turned up' for my taste. I like the way the full size one curves back down a bit.

 

okay now i know what you mean. yea it does, it looks like straight or poped up a little and the other (full) looks kinda like a bigger one.. similar to the bmw style one. like the ones they make for the 7 series.

 

max929... its on mojo's sig.... www.paradox-systems.com

 

A GD would be nice..... I think

 

Thanks nyautostyle, the half size and the fulls spoilers are both sweet. just need to decide which one???????

 

heres a pic of my half size, to help with your decision

 

yesterday mine flew off in the car wash and shattered into 40 pieces..wtf

 

Sorry to hear that. Did you have the OEM tape on it?

 

just picked up some of that tape... can't wait to put it back on... thanks peeps
