Default CDC Rear Blackout Panel Question

I installed a CDC blackout panel on my car a couple of months back. I cleaned it with alcohol (as instructed), and also left the trunk up and put light clamps on the ends to keep it pressed against the back panel for a while. It held for quite a while, but now I am noticing that it is coming off on both ends really bad. It still is stuck on well, but I can only imagine it is going to get worse.

Did anyone have this same problem? I am thinking I need to pull it off and put more double sided tape than CDC puts on it? Any suggestions?

Mine is doing the same thing, I am gonna have to take it off, reapply some 3m tape then reapply it to the trunk again this time using alot more addhessive promoter. Mine wasn't placed properly though on the first install, the left side had a tiny gap between the trunk lid and the CDC. It HAS to be flush mounted perfectly or it'll pull itself apart! Doh!

Default Blackout Panel

If you like the matte black, check out the magnetic one - I've had one on for two seasons with no problems at all.
We have them available at Mustang Design Specialties (mdsdesignonline.com)
We also have the "honeycomb" version. Mention Mustang Forums.

I just installed the DG Customs rear trim panel. There is plenty of red 3M tape and it appears to be much thinner and lighter than the CDC panel- I love it!
