so it rained/snowed yesterday and half my diffuser isnt fully stuck on anymore! this is starting to get really frustrating.. one side is still on tight, but the other side is starting to come off. you can see a gap between the piece and the rear bumper, and it looks like the 3m double sided tape is only bonding a few points rather that the entire perimeter! what do i do?! auto kits x can you help me out? can you show me exactly where to mount the tape? when it gets nice out, im going to have to reapply and i want to get it right. its a real disappointment seeing the gap every time i walk around the car :/ right now i had the tape mounted as close to the edge as possible, with many only an eighth of an inch gap from the edge, but that still didnt work apparently :X

Thanks guys! Got the right tape and everything seems perfect I love it! Gives extra style to the rear end without being too aggressive since I don't have the oem spoiler. I kind if like the stock chrome lip and diffuser combo
