Wow yours was a good install that was done a while ago right? And just starting to lift now. That means none of us are out of the woods yet. Happen to see them dry fit it? How much is it lifting?
So I have a friend that has an (older) Model S P90D -- at least several years old -- and guess what, HIS carbon fiber spoiler is lifting on the right side. I actually pointed it out to him last week. He had never noticed it before and its lifting a lot more than many of the photos of our Model 3 spoilers that I have seen in this thread -- and certainly a lot more than the one that I just had replaced.
The reality of it is that metal and carbon fiber have vastly different expansion / contraction rates. Frankly, I think the entire concept of a "glued-on" spoiler is the issue. No matter how perfect the initial fit might be, the trunk of the car and the spoiler are going to respond completely differently to changing environmental factors. Imagine them both baking in the Arizona sun in Summer or in the depths of a Minnesota Winter? How are they possibly both going to stay perfectly aligned without a genuine, fixed, mechanical bond?
