Default 05-09 headlight splitters

So I got them in the mail and eagerly but cautiously put them on following the directions and tips I've read and I noticed they didn't contour well to the headlight. One end had to be pushed down and I figured it would hold much like the honeycomb decklid panel if I just held it an let it cure overnight.

And much to my dismay, I discovered the next morning that one had come close to a third of the way off and the other about a quarter. And no amount of pushing and holding would keep them down more than an hour. I can't imagine where I messed up. clean it, heat it, promote it and hold it.

I'm not complaining to badmouth or anything I've been a pretty happy customer so far, I'm just looking for tips that'll make them stay. whether that's some kind of glue or reapplying that 3m tape (and where to get it) or if anyone has a more physical alternative to tape.

I would go as far as bolting them on if there was an effective way that didn't mess up the headlight.

You can get more 3M doubleside adhesive tape at just about any auto parts store. I had to do that with my Cervinis scoops, when I originally installed them, one corner kept lifting up. I pulled it off, and redid all the tape plus added some, and put it back on and been good for few years now.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, Rylay.

Brian is right, you can get that 3M adhesive at any local auto parts store or 3M distributor, such as Home Depot or Staples. Although, you're looking for 3M automotive grade double-sided adhesive. Get some more 3M tape and if you're still having troubles, feel free to shoot me a PM directly. I can put you in touch with one of our Parts Experts who can assist you getting your splitters installed.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance. Have a great weekend!
