I'm not sure what kind of glue it was, but it was black. I've seen them using this glue when replacing the windshield if it cracks. I actually dont think its glue, its more like a squishy thing which becomes like rubber when dried.

Who needs glue when you have that much tape. :yak:

No but really good for you doing the mod yourself that is the only way you learn. :thumbsup:

carlos126 so the black sticky stuff was strong enough to hold down the end corners that stuck up on the roof spoiler? BTW, does that black stuff dry fast and it is easy to use?

its really easy to use, just cut a hole in that glue thing, spread it across. the 3m tape thats on already helps too. But yeah the amount of tape i used was able to hold it for a while, it dries in like 2 hrs, but i left the tape on for much more just incase, if you need help doing it, i wouldnt mind giving you a hand.
