Too cold to install spoiler?
Hey,
I live in the northeast and my spoiler *finally* came (ordered in October). It was really nice a week ago, but it seems 30s maybe low 40s are here to stay. So my question is would this cause issues with installing? Contraction /adhesion etc.? The spoiler came with 3m tape and two bolts/nuts. Cheers. |

nothing a heat gun or hair dryer can't fix for heating up the spots for the adhesive.

Thanks Blue! Did it yesterday, heated the tape and the areas it needed to go enough where it seems likes it adhered well. Two bolts went in easy. As a note to anyone else doing it, you don't need a hole saw to do the right most one. I just used a 1/2 drill but and magnetic tool to place the nut on the bolt. A small rubber washer and 1/2 plastic plug from Lowes sealed it up nice.
