i bought a carbon fiber oem replica wing and i went to try and install it but the problem is the sides comes up i tried putting weight on each side but still comes up can anybody help me? is there a way i can heat it up a little and bend it down to take the shape of the trunk a little??

 

Return it ////

 

its from a guy on here...

 

a replica cf wing that doesnt fit properly. Throw it away.

jk

Did you try using bolts to hold it down? Or just 3m tape? I thought the oem wing required bolts, shouldnt that be enough to hold it?

 

Agree. Ends come up? Photos helpful. Can you put a bolt in each end?

 

its a replica CF oem wing.. just using 3m tape... any helpful ideas?

 

is it like this wing?

 

yupp! i think its a ebay brand

 

Pics are helpful

 

I completely bordered mine with 3M tape and there was no problems. I just stuck mine on and made sure it was on there even.

I would suggest getting a rag and choice of weight to hold either side down and let it sit overnight.

 

A very strong 3M tape. Press it down for as long as you can. Might need a friend to
rotate the press-down. "Some" replicas come with a price

 

I have the same problem with my replica OEM spoiler (bought from spoilerdepot dot com). I did the following:

1) wash the hatch
2) Apply degreaser / wax remover to the area where the spoiler mounts
3) apply 3M Adhesion Promoter to the spoiler mounting area
4) Press the spoiler into place and hold for a minute to set the 3m tape
5) Place a rag and a gallon jug of coolant on each end of the spoiler
6) Let it sit for ten days while I went on vacation
7) Came back and it was ok for a few weeks, then the ends / corners started to lift off again.

My next step is to take it to a body shop and have them use something stronger to hold it down. I don't think the bolts will help because they are too far inboard to keep the ends from springing up away from the hatch.

 

i cant bolt it on theres no place to screw it from the wing, i took it off and we measured it to oem 1 and the replica 1 seem to be a little longer and a little bigger... i think ima sell it if any1 wants to work with it..

 

i give u $30 plus shipping.
