mine is still truckin' along. see my pics from first page. still looks the same
I tried weight, I tried tape, I tried tape and weight. It simply doesn't stay down. I followed the instructions, the paint was very hot and clean.
Now there is a bit of dirt under the VHB tape and its not staying at all unless I take it all off and rework it.
I'll probably just toss it in the trash once the factory one shows up.

Why don't you tell RPM this and see what they say. Maybe it was defective and they can send you a new one.

It was easy and quick to put an aftermarket one on my S. I just used a clay bar on the paint to ensure it sticks properly, taped it out first with masking tape, added more 3M tape to the bottom of the aftermarket one, and pressed it on. I'd blame RPM for your problems.

That's what I'm waiting for. I'm certain it's coming and I'm in no rush and buying from RPM is just asking for problems, in my view at least. Someone else will be making one like the OEM -- it took a bit of time to get a decent aftermarket one for the S, like it will with the 3.
Me too. I'd never buy from RPM -- too creepy and unethical for me to deal with:

They still have yet to respond to my previous 2 emails. I'm done wasting my time. Products are decent, service is TERRIBLE.

Honestly, I took one look at how the website was riddled with typos and wondered about the lack of detail I might find with customer service and quality control. Granted, you don't have to be an English major to produce and delivery high-quality after market parts, but if you are selling sight-unseen to the public, you have to put your best foot forward.

The OEM one is probably the most susceptible one to break off if you apply downward pressure on it due to it's design. Rpm would be the best one for this purpose as it sits entirely on the top, and tsportline comes in second in that it at least adheres to the top of the trunk.
I doubt any of them would easily break off under normal trunk closing forces. CF is really strong and flexible even very thin.
I do like mine for the same reason though, that's where I put my fingerprints when I close my trunk, right on the spoiler.

That makes no sense. If you use 3M tape, nothing is taking it off except a piece of fishing line with heat applied.
Maybe 10x even, that's why it would be nice to see an aftermarket one was styled more like the OEM version.
Well, if that is the case then Tesla will have a bunch of warranty issues with all the 3s with the spoiler.
