the crappy glue that came with mine was too solidified to come out of the tube... what else would work? I had heard of 3M windshield adhesive, but I've never really been able to find it. Anywhere that might sell it?

Default funny thing is...

the body shop that did my repairs and was just going to add this on with the kit I got from Audi, said that they didn't have anything for it (after he sanded down the bottom)...

I have to take it back so that they can replace the flippin headlight because they put a halogen on instad of xenon.

Autoparts store should have the 3M windshield adhesive. I bought it at Advance.

I just got a used chin spoiler. How did you sand it down? By hand, orbital? wet sandpaper?

Default It doesn't matter how you sand it

The point of sanding the area underneath the chin spoiler is so that it gives the glue a rougher surface to stick to.

Double-sided stick tape is often used

My bad, I have to re-paint the "new one". How should I sand?
