Bonding a Spoiler to a Car

[Eskiisbest]

Hi Guys,

Anyone ever bonded a spoiler to a car before without screws.

If so what adhesive did you use?
Any what method did you take.

Thanks in advance.

Why do u plan on doing this anyway?... isn't it easier using screws?

 

[Eskiisbest]

Not if the spoiler doesn't have screw points

yea done lots.

always used Sikaflex

make sure the spolier sits nice first, put it on, make sure your happy with it and make sure it aint gonna catch the roof or anything when the tailgates fully open.

put a big blob in the middle of the spoiler ends, not too close to the edge or the excess will push out and you'll have a right mess.

then use masking tape and tape from the spoiler onto the roof a few times, tape the spoiler to the rear quarters a few times and tape it to the back window too.

leave it to dry overnight

Do i need to put alot of adhesive on?

 

[Final Maxim]

depends how big the spoiler is and where it fixes to the tailgate.

isit just like 2 feet that sit on the tailgate? just put a big blob in the middle of the foot, enough so it holds, but not loads so you cant pull it down nearly flush with the tailgate and so it dont push the excess out either

 

[Eskiisbest]

it's this spoiler. So a big blob along the whole spoiler?

 

[Final Maxim]

yea, whereever it touches the tailgate, dont go near that edge.

hold it against th tailgate first and open it up to make sure it dont catch the roof and you know how far back its gotta be bonded

Can the stuff be used for bonding any plastic FM?

 

[Charlieboy]

i think you would be better off going to your local reputable bodyshop mate and asking them

yup, id probably rough up the surface a bit first if your using like perspex sheets or whatever, just so its got something to grab onto.

can this be used to stick to windows coz iv got a spoiler that has to be stuck on the top of the window?

 

[Final Maxim]

i have done it once, but it was in a mates garage. i dunno if it stuck on for a long while or what. it never came back though so can only assume it was ok

id check to see if its ok first though as i dont wanna say yea itll bond to glass and it not work, maybe email someone that sells it on ebay or something and ask them

 

[the low-rider]

well it was either that or sillicon
