Default CF roof cap install

this to anyone here that has one or that has installed one.

I should be getting mine tommorw from show stoppers usabut I had some install questions about it. first, does it come with double sided tape on the bottom of it or do i have to glue it? if so what kind and where can i get this glue? I recently spoke with Sick Z, and his cap came with double-sided tape but as more as i looked into it, I didnt see any install thread just alot of posts mentioning that they had to glue it, in which left me confused. any input will be appreciated, thanks!

I'm also gonna buy one from showstoppers. I asked them the same question and they told me that it comes with the 3M double sided tape which should secure it just fine. I believe all you do is line it up and set it on. I'm sure there will be a simple installation guide with it and if not, dont worry, it shouldn't be difficult.

You can use the 3m double sided tape, as added security you can add an epoxy or glue to help hold down the corners. Although double sided tape IS included,I recomend you get alittle more. You can never be TOO safe.
