Hi Majerus. Did you get any feedback. Just received my spoiler as well , and it also got some scratches or cracks. Did he send you a new one?

So... I'm pretty ticked here... My spoiler is leaking a white goo that dries to the car, looks like crap, is rough, and if I try to remove it; 1. damages the paint of the car and 2. comes back next time I wash it or it rains.
Is anyone else having this issue?! I'm going to have to remove it at this point, as I see no other way to stop this run off of glue type stuff. I plan to contact the seller today and see what can be done.
I'm guessing it came from using that "adhesion prompter" that crap needs to be REMOVED from the packaging!

did you use or not use the white packet of adhesion promoter? when's the last time it rained hard or you washed it?
thanks. (car looks great).

I've had issues with my replacement spoiler. I had to take it off and I'm trying to remount it one last time before I tell the seller I want to return it. I did take the opportunity to remove the promoter. It wasnt a big deal to remove with GooGone, but I can't say I had any run off issue. My point is that its easy to take off and take the opportunity to clean off the promoter. It IS a PIA as it took a while to get that dang tape off the spoiler and put new tape on it.

What's this promoter stuff? Mine just came with 3M tape on the bottom (I bought from the eBay link though, so possibly a different seller)
it was a 'wet wipe' in a white square, that had a lot of Japanese writing on it (I think it was Japanese, don't shoot me), and "adhesion promoter" in English. i thought it was an alcohol pad. It was a type of glue, that's now running out from under my spoiler when it gets wet...
I've reached out to the seller... and plan to remove the spoiler tonight w/fishing line and goo gone.
Yea, I don't think anything will stop the water lines, short of leaving it off...
I removed it, fairly 'easy' I thought with fishing line... only to discover that I royally F'd up the paint now... awesome.
I'm going to try to remount it, as that will hide the now fubar'd paint...
I can't seem to win.
I applied the 3m tape that was on the roll that came with it, it's a lot thinner than the last stuff... cause for concern?
Ohh, and when I used the sticker remover stuff, it got on the tail lights... and nearly destroyed them...
I was able to fix the tail lights w/some polish and an old t-shirt. they look good as new now, but that royally pissed me off...
again, can't win.

I removed mine because the left edge didnt lay flat and after just a slight pull, i could tell it didnt stick well. I thought i made an error mounting it and also with your comments about the promoter, i figured id remove that as well. So after determining that the spolier just wont lay flush, i emailed them wanting to return it. They suggested using thicker 3M tape, but i'm not going to wrestle with anymore and retun it all.
