PUR-Adhesive Sealant for Telson Does Not Hold
My telson came off after only 3 months and I had good coverage and proper drying time. I'm pissed because a) they send WAY more than you need and b) it's WAY over priced even at their sale price and C) It does not have a proper appicator included D) IT DIDN'T HOLD
It stuck to the car's spoiler because there is plenty of glue stuck on there but the telson has little to none on it. I'm sick of taking it up the rear on prices just because the brand is higher end.

3M makes a double sided tape that is thin and black. It is for automotive use such as mounting plastic door rub strips on cars. You can get it at a place like Kragen Auto. Maybe that would work for your add-on spoiler.

Mine came off as well in 95+ degree heat. But...
..looking at the way the Telson separated from the stock spoiler, it appears that I didn't "prep" the mating surfaces sufficiently for best adhesion... My car is in the body shop right now getting a full Votex kit painted and installed, so I asked them to clean up the Telson and the stock spoiler, and reinstall it for me- They seem certain that this time it'll stay put. Stay tuned...
