Default If it's like mine, the problem is install error.

One side of my lip spoiler would not stay stuck down. I removed it and completely removed the 3M tape (it's easy - just stretch the tape parallel with the spoiler) then reapplied.

On the first install I stuck the spoiler down working from one side to the other. This caused some flex in the spoiler so there was a constant force pushing the spoiler up.

For the second time around I worked back to front. The spoiler lays flatter, no flex, and it sticks great. I'd say give it another shot before going to something as permanent as adhesive.

Take the whole thing off, remove the residue tape, reapply 3M tape and reapply spoiler to rear deck.
