Betalink? Spolier install
The parts dude swore I needed it. Told him no, ended up discounting it to cost so I didn’t “lose my spoiler”. Do I have to use it or can I stick to 3m auto tape? I see 99% of folks using 3m.

3M VHB is all you need, make sure you prep the surface properly.

I've never had any trouble with my spoiler "flying away" with just 3M tape...and this is based on multiple cars. Prep the surface properly, apply enough tape and you'll be fine.

You must not be driving fast enough. Go the right speed, not only will your spoiler fly off but wheel center caps and valve stem caps will fly off, as well. |

This exactly plus 3M adhesive promoter with a heat gun. You'll have hell of a time if you ever want to remove it. Besides a bad install causing fly aways is, bad design. The spoiler needs to contour to the surface within a couple millimeters, otherwise, you're not giving the tape a chance to do it's job.
