Hi everybody,
Just wondering what people recommend using to glue the RX turbo rear spoiler on? I can't remember what I used last time, but it fell off after a few months.
Thanks for any help,

Sikaflex? That's what most people use to hold badges / ornaments on, dunno if it would lend itself to a spoiler.

Yeah SikaFlex(the black one) will be perfect for the RX spoiler.

Try to be neat with it as it will stain the paint

I used a tape, brand on it is "stylus" doubled sided for the rubber strips,
the roll was 10cm width,1cm wide tape and cost i think $20...
you get it from panel beater supplies, there's a 3M one too, but being a huge
roll it cost way too much.
but I think I've now seen the stuff at supercheap too........
The tape really holds,so good for your application, and is easy to apply....
hmmmm not sure what Sikaflex is........? a glue in a tube or something??

The Sikaflex we are talking about is a bonder / sealant (227). It comes in both toothpaste tube and caulking tube sizes, in both black and white.
Sikaflex is actually a company, but much like CRC their name is synonymous with their leading product.

Yes 227 but do what i did... take the crapy black strip off and replace with an RS one... perfect fit (although people will tell you that its not) and looks sweet.
Sorry all my pick of it are on film.
Oh and they should be cheep to pick up now.
