Default CDC Chin Spoiler Help

Hey Guys -

I just bought and installed a new CDC chin spoiler earlier this week...pics are forthcoming.

Here is my question...I got a little impatient and installed it in cold weather and the 3M tape didn't take well in some spots and there are some small gaps between the spoiler and the car. What's the best way to fix that?

I was thinking of carefully applying some superglue between the two, but something tells me not to, even though I have no plans to ever take it off. I' certainly open to suggestions, though. So, please, fire away.

Definately dont use superglue... go buy yourself a heat gun and heat up where the 3m tape is going to be reapplied... and also buy some new 3m tape... needs to be 70 degrees so it says...

Thanks Johnboy. I knew I was barking up the wrong tree with the superglue idea. I hink I'll try just reheating the original tape first, then go from there if that doesn't work.

I'd definitely not use superglue, I would just deal with the gap until it starts warming up!

Cold weather sucks, you can't do anything!
