Roof-Spoiler fitting
- Thread starter Rich
- Start date
Hi All, I tried bonding mine first with sikaflex and just my look the following day after fitting the genuine spoiler the one side come away slightly as when temp was 30 degree + and spoiler black, so I too drilled as per recommendations and now spot on
Looking good @Mark Woodhouse liking the black theme, black badges finish it off nicely
@Mark Woodhouse is that a gloss black bumper protector? If so where was it from and is it a good fit.
Hi @Rob yes it is and from eBay and yes good fit but again the normal 3m tape it come with was ok but after many weekly washes and hot weather started coming up so would recommend a line of sikaflex across the middle and now perfect VW - Volkswagen - T6 - VW T6 Gloss Black GRP Full Width Wraparound Rear Bumper Protector - Tailgate Only - World of QB Carbon - Carbon Fibre for Motorcycles

How do I get spolier colour matched to say acapulco blue? .looking at Maxton one
@Nellydevine check out zibodyshop.co.uk they are right on your doorstep. Not had anything done by them personally but they look pretty professional and might be worth going down for a chat since it's in Wrexam?

Just noticed this thread.
Did the inductions say to apply the adhesive primer too the tailgate?
The adhesive primer is meant to go on the spoiler to promote adhesion between the pu (polyurethane) adhesive and the abs plastic of the vw spoiler. A spoiler made from pu won't need the primer.

The adhesive kit for the spoiler isn't the same kit for glass.
000071785D is the spoiler adhesive kit.

I'm confused. Where did glass come into it? The op used primer on the tailgate not on the spoiler. The primer is for the spoiler. Putting the primer on the tailgate paint goes against everything I know/learnt in vehicle bodywork repair and my job.
The spoilers I have put on customers cars from vw that are made from abs plastic need the primer on the spoiler for full long lasting adhesion.
I just don't want the op's spoiler to fly off.

The kit was recommended by Banwy who say they use the single tube kit for fixing spoilers. For my T5 I used Sticks like sh*t to fix a GRP barn door spoiler, no primers just stuck it on, stayed on for five years. Looking at YouTube, I have seen the primer applied to the bodywork and the glass activator applied to the glass. I applied the primer to the both the bodywork and the spoiler and all seems good so far.
I didn't realize the op used the window adhesive kit. I was referring to the spoiler adhesive that uses the elch p1 polyurethane glue not dinitrol.
They are different bit at least they both work.
Crises averted.

I'm planning on fitting a genuine vw rear bike carrier, so as far as I'm aware I can't fit a rear spoiler !! Shame as they look cracking .
