I just noticed both side coming up when I was grabbing groceries from the trunk when I looked up to push the trunk close button only to see my garage lights shine down on both left side and right side to see the glue slowly coming un done.

I'm going into the service center next week to get my spoiler fixed/replaced again. I got my car April 2020, and it's been replaced twice already. Luckily they're still offering a warranty on it I guess, so the fix/replacement will be free.
It will probably always be an issue since it's just held on with double sided adhesive. The adhesive will soften in warm weather and over time will fail. Still don't understand the point of Tesla going so cheap with the spoiler on a car that costs over $60k. If you're going to offer a spoiler as an OEM option on a performance model, it should actually provide some benefit and be bolted to the car. The performance spoiler is purely cosmetic.How is this still an issue. 3rd one peeling off now.
I’m convinced the bend is off by just a bit. Have to push hard to get the one side flush.It will probably always be an issue since it's just held on with double sided adhesive.

Time to replace it with a 5’ in. Aftermarket, from Amazon..Had mine replaced 4 total times, 3 mobile service , 1 service center. I gave up. It's coming up again. I'll probably just remove it and go aftermarket.
I got rear ended a few weeks ago with minor damage. But they need to replace the hatch so if it stays this time cool, if not aftermarket it is. Local body shop probably will do it better than Tesla anyway.
Has anyone had success removing their spoiler without damage and re-applying it with stronger adhesive? Last time I was at the service center, I asked about it and they said when they have to replace them, they don't try to save the old one, just break it and pull it off. That seems like a waste. If I could get it off cleanly with some dental floss or something like that and re-attach it myself, I think I could do a better job.
Just chatted with my PPF installer about my full body PPF appointment in May (they are booked that far in advance in Los Angeles area). He said to let them try to put the oem spoiler back on before I buy an aftermarket. They think they can put it on better than Tesla. Said If it starts to lift again, they can remove it without harming PPF & I can go aftermarket route. Very well known shop so I am going to trust their info.My MYP was built December 2021. Left edge of spoiler was lifted just a tad. Now it is 3/30/3022 and detachment has spread to 1/4 of spoiler’s left side. I am getting full PPF for my car & installer said they typically reinstall spoiler over PPF. I plan to buy either AOSK or RPM Tesla spoiler. Probably go with a carbon fiber based RPM Tesla spoiler since they are a local business in my case & seem to have a good reputation.

This might just be ignorance on my part but when the MYPs were delivered without the OEM spoiler weren't they also software locked to 135 MPH vs 155?It will probably always be an issue since it's just held on with double sided adhesive.

I’m not sure about a change in top speed, but would you really trust a double sided taped spoiler to really make a difference? People are having them fall off just driving normally.This might just be ignorance on my part but when the MYPs were delivered without the OEM spoiler weren't they also software locked to 135 MPH vs 155?
The conclusion I am inferring is that they do in fact provide some benefit based on manufacturer modeling.
Thoughts?
Just wondering; What’s the purpose of the spoiler on all the Model X ?I’m not sure about a change in top speed, but would you really trust a double sided taped spoiler to really make a difference? People are having them fall off just driving normally.
I can’t see them providing any functional benefit. Would be good to hear though from anyone who’s tracked their Y with the OEM spoiler to see if they felt any difference and also if the spoiler fell off at high speed.
X is a completely different shape.Just wondering; What’s the purpose of the spoiler on all the Model X ?
