Not too sure, but I would try to secure it with both 3M tape and the special glue, as a friend of mine had his acs roof spoiler fly off onto the freeway. I think he just used the 3M tape alone.

Yeah that what im afraid of, Maybe the tape and some clear silicone??

Here is what I did on my car.

First and most important is to prep both mounting surfaces. Clean all the wax and residue off of that window.

- If you are using the 3m double sided tape, make sure that you use the adhesive promoter. It makes the tape hold alot firmer, and will last longer than doing it without. The promoter is available at the car paint supply shop. It looks like a little swab of rubbing alchohol. Use this promoter only on the bottom side of the roof wing first, than add the double sided tape once the promoter fully dries.

- You can also use the black silicone glue, but it can make a mess. If you are using black silicone, remember to tape the roof wing down in place and let the silicone dry before driving the car again.

If its the stuff used to hold on windshileds, dont use it unless you want it on there forever.
