Ok im not really sure it is called , but i think its a rear window spoiler, it mounts to the top of the rear window looks like a giant moonroof visor, does anyone know where i can get one???

 

Search the forums for "Roof Spoiler". There are a few threads on this topic and even some pics of some on your generation Maxima...

I have an 08 Maxima and I just got mine from this site... http://www.ionicdynamics.com/

I know he has some for your year...

Search eBay for "roof spoiler" or "roof wing" also...

 

its the 3rd or 4th listed in the group deals......

E-bay had some...half and full size...post pics after install...gud luck

 

according to what i read on ebay, they are being sold by paradox systems
i want one so i have been looking around
any CF ones our there

 

correction to my last post its from ionicdynamics
and its the same price on ebay as in the group deal link above.

not ever simple question needs a new thread....

if only the company that sold them had a large banner ad at the top of the page...

 

Most of the ones i see are either painted or carbon fiber...is there any that are made out of the same material as the sunroof deflector?

 

the paradox one is. and i didnt paint mine only cuz it flows with the car. dark color

 

YEAH I WONT BE PAINTING MINE EITHER...MY MAX IS BLACK

 

i spoke to jose from ionic
the ebay version is unpainted and untreated
the group deals are a better buy especially for us on the org.
they come in a high gloss black gel coat
ordered mine today for my 5.5

 

yeah so the group buy is the way to go???

 

i think so
i ordered it from him through the GD

 

would anyone mind posting a link to the unpainted version...

 

i dont think there is a pic of the unpainted version
but i would guess it looks like dull black plasitic

 

i wouldnt imagine its dull, its probably in a gloss black primer,besides that it would only cost around 100 to have painted to factory specs

 

I ordered the unpainted version and it came primed in grey.. Since I have a black Maxima I had the shop color match it, paint and clear coat it. Looks great... One thing, I did not get any 2 sided tape or adhesive with the spoiler... That was a drag!!! The shop that is installing it for me had to order some windshield adhesive. They recommended I do not use the 2 sided tape, stating it won't hold up as good as the adhesive over time and harder for someone to rip off the car...

 

i need to find out where to get the window adhesive
any ideas

 

I saw it online but if you contact a local glass place/windshield installer they may sell it to you or at least tell you where you can buy it...

 

I used 3M Industrial strength 2 sided tape when I removed, painted, and put roof wing on another max I got after an accident. It's pretty sturdy. I even used it on eyelids. I like it better than the adhesive that comes on the eyelids.

 

where did you get industrial strength
sound pretty serious

 

It's probably the 3M with the red backing. That's pretty strong stuff.

 

You can buy the 3m tape from any auto parts store. I got mine painted and put the tape on and it held up fine thru numerous weekly car washes and a very cold winter. Anything can be stolen, plus the windshield adhesive leaves a nasty film on your window that is a pain to clean off.

 

so i contacted a window shop and they have never heard of window adhesive being used for plastic to glass
only for metal to glass
any thoughts
Or should i stick to 3m Extra Strength

 

I'd like to know more about this 3M tape before the shop gets in the adhesive they claim they ordered. I'd hate to use adhesive if it leaves any marks etc...

 

yeah i hear that
i want the strongest 3m tape

 

I heard window spoilers add 5hp.

 

5hp and 10 lbs of torque,right? haha

 

The best tape for this install is 3M Molding Tape, red backing, gray tape, sold at all auto stores. When I removed my roof spoiler, it was on there so strong I nearly cracked the spoiler in half.

Just make sure to let the windshield heat up under the sun for an hour, clean it, and yu are good to go with the tape.

 

Sweet, ill talk all the gains i can get

 

ok so anyone with a window spoiler.
NOT happy with the fitments of the piece.
It doesn't extend to the end of the window. Its about 3/4 of inch short so i have to center it which isn't easy. Also the bend in the fiberglass doesn't match the bend in the rear window so i have to really push to make it fit. Last when it is centered and bent the ends where the roof line are have big gaps in them.
Are these common problems. Anyone else have this issue or did i get a defective product.
Let me know and help is greatly appreciated

 

Nope, mine is the same for being short. But mine lined up perfectly.

 

Yeah I had fitment issues with my window spoiler too although I didnt have quite the gap that you did; it seemed like it was warped even before I put it on. There's really nothing to do except maybe let it sit out in the sun one summer day and let it get softer, then trying to put it back on.
I took mine off since then only because I got tired of the look(I had the sunroof visor, rear window spoiler and trunk lid spoiler all on at once)

I still have it though if anyone wants to buy it from me. I'll give you a great deal

 

what did you guys use to put it on
how well did it stay
i uses some sick stuff from 3m for putting a accessory panels.
its OEM approved stuff

 

super glued mine...lol

 

ups, wrong tread....sorry

 

how much and what color is it?

 

yeah id like to know the same thing i know they go for around 100 shipped new so cut us some slack lol,and maxdriver,where are you ocated in ct bro? Im northeast ct(killingly)near norwich

 

well I bought it off another orger for $60, it's ghetto-ly painted black, which is hard to notice til youre up on it...you meet me somewhere reasonable in CT and I'll give it to you for $40. I dont really have any good up close pics of it, but its in great condition still.

 

what do you consider reasonable in CT? Hartford, manchester, or closer to the shore?
