My stuff hasn't been on nearly as long, but my CDC decklid and GT500 rear spoiler are both coming up as well.

The body shop I spoke to said the best way to reattach is to follow the same IPA wipedown as the original install and us a hairdryer to heal the area a little. Clamp them on and park it out in the sun for a few hours.

heat and air usually tend to dry/heal/make things stick better...I would imagine.

or it makes the mohawk stand up more on your spoiler...


common sense
