Interested if this is still available / comes back. The adhesive failed yesterday on the freeway and flew off 2011 G37 coupe KAD.

PSA: Check your adhesive!

While I am not one to bump dead threads- and I really did not want to start a new thread, I thought it wise to suggest to anyone who has these roof spoilers to check the double-sided tape adhesive! Driving down the interstate this morning (to stretch my G's legs ) I was suddenly stunned with a loud banging/flapping noise. By the time I reacted I saw the roof spoiler fly off. Luckily nobody was close enough behind me to get hit.

After almost 3 years installed I really can not complain. I do not know if the adhesive failed because of age or because I had the spoiler installed on the glass instead of the metal roof. Either way I doubt I will replace it, but ya never know.

Check your spoilers- specifically, ensure that adhesive tape is holding solid!

And that is why I replaced the cheap chinese tape with the strongest outdoor guerilla tape they make

Seems you're ahead of the game...

Which is why I made the comment/suggestion for those who have these spoilers to check/replace the adhesive tape before these things start flying off cars.
