I got one for Christmas. The first day it was above freezing it went on. I used alcohol to scrub down the roof. No problems so far.

 

The wipes are called 3M adhesive promoters (i think). I got mine at car quest paint and supply. I would look at any automotive paint store.

 

I don't know about you guys, but my vortex generator mounted under the moldings on the sides. Don't forget the antenna holds it too in the middle. That did most of the work in holding it secure, the tape is just like a backup.

 

use quality 3m tape and heat it with a heat gun during installation and you wont have issues also use a wider strip

 

definitely DONT USE GOO GONE... i used it to take the 3m tape off from my spoiler... and it took off my clear coat on my bumper where it leaked down and a little bit on my trunk

 

TIP:

I was in ur shoes when i got mine, was affraid that it might fell off but then thought well the weather strip and antena will hold it, then contacted the seller (derek from rexpeed) and told him i don;t think the 3m tape will hold but he assured me that it would. so this is what i did, to be sure that it will hold, i layed the two main strips on the back and layed some more lil strips in between (about 2'' long) and left the VG for few days sitting in my room. this way u assure that one side of the tape is very well mounted onto the VG, then peel off the other end of the tape and mount it to ur car (ofcourse after cleaning the roof, taking off the antena, and removing the weather strip (be sure to take ur time when taking that Bit$# out, because i broke one of my weather strip's clips)

what i noticed is at room temp, the tape doesn;t look like it will hold but honestly, on my car now it feels like it was crazy glued. so goodluck and hope this helps.

got mine from rexpeed.net no problems at all and been on car for a year

 

i got one of ebay(i was just going to paint it white) but i wantted to see if id like the Cf look so i put it under the weather stripping and used the 3m tape it came with and after going on the highway it was gone luckly it didnt leave any marks but lesson learned i geuss

 

What was the temperature outside when u installed it? and did u clean the roof b4 u put it on?

its wierd how some people are saying it can fly off when the antena shouldn;t allow that!!

 

yeah its 3m adhesive promoter. and goo gone shouldn't strip off clear coat. i use it to debadge cars all the time.

 

it was in the summer it wasnt crazy how out either...i cleaned the roof let it dry then put it on..and i geuss having a shorty antenna didnt really stop it much

 

that's wierd. did u take it out on the highway right after the installtion? and what happened to the antenna after the vg flew off?

 

no problems yet

 

i was on the hwy prob 2 hours after i did it..nothing happened to anything
its funny cause i was next to this guy and hes like is that an MR? so i know i had it then..5 minutes later when i pulled into 711 it was gone

 

he ginxed it for ya. go get him..lol,

ya that is wierd man, i check mine almost everyday since i installed it about a week ago, and its pretty spolid even tho we got a heck load of rain in the past few days.
