Has anyone used glue/adhesive to mount the Rear Deck Spoiler?
I am in the process of installing my rear deck spoiler and noticed that you need to slightly bend the ends in so that it fits tight and perfect. I feel that the tape on the spoiler is not enough grip support to hold down the ends. I dont want to get into a situation where I have to press down on the ends everytime they popup a bit making a small gap between the spoiler and the trunk. So i bought and very strong adhesive glue (weather proof for autos) to apply under the spoiler like the installation guide says to do before i mount on the trunk.
My concern is if the glue could mess up my paint down the road or if the heat would damage anything. I just want feed back to see if anyone has donethis. I've seen in this forum replys that say they just stuck the spoiler with the tape and no glue.... any thoughts before i do this? thanx |

If you read the official BMW instructions for the spoiler http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1914
you will see you are supposed to use the special beta-link glue that you can buy from BMW |

I used betalink (BMW stuff) to glue it to the trunk; not sure why some say otherwise, but that little piece of adhesive on it is not sufficient to keep the thing on the trunk. Perhaps you could use additional double sided tape; but the glue will work best, although its pretty damn permanent.

The stuff you need is (BMW part Number 82-69-9-408-866) Betalink-K1
retails for 12.75 + tax... comes with sand paper, glue, cleaner, applicater, it's a complete set. Very cool stuff. |

I like to share the DIY step-by-step photos that I did when I installed my spoiler. It has how-to visual information and some lesssons learned. I like to thank Mo. Idris.Jason from Tischer BMW who provide me the complementary Beta-link adhesive. I almost walk off the dealership without it, , thinking the spoiler package was all i needed.

Well~I bought the spoiler from BAVARIAN AUTOSPORT~ I guess this might the reason why the spoiler's curve isn't 100% fit the trunk curve,ecpecially the ends But I saw the BMW logo on it and I also saw the parts number 5171 0396 344 it is not a copy one ,is it?? |
