I had mine redone in Dedham on Monday. They said they have moved to using a urethane adhesive instead of the 3M tape. The tape on mine was actually pulling apart, cohesive failure as adhesive. The re installation looks good so far.
My disappointment is the fact that they made a mess of my trunk paint. I should have just removed it and reinstalled it myself. I didn't even address the paint issue with them because honestly I don't want them making a bigger mess. I HATE having people touch my car. They are generally careless. Dirty rags, putting tools on the car etc.
I don't care so much about residue left from the adhesive removal solvent, I've gotten most of that off. The issue is the scuffs and scratches. Swirls can probably be polished out easy enough, but there are deep scratches that were not there going in. Luckily I don't think anything is through the clear coat, but it would need some serious cutting to correct. I washed and detailed the car the day before so I would have known if they were there going in. The scratches are clear as day. I had the car three stage paint corrected last fall to fix delivery issues, the paint was in top notch shape. Now I have a few deep scratches on the top of the trunk and scuffs all over the place on the trunk lid and some on the rear bumper and especially parallel to the spoiler. NOT HAPPY!
