What should i do, i put on the cervinis rear valence an few days ago. it is held on most by double sided tape. there are many places where the tape is not completly holding.

Geez, that sucks. My Cervini show bar started coming apart. I called Cervini and they told me to ship it back and they would fix it. I ended up mixing up some 2 piece epoxy and I fixed it myself. I'm not a big fan of double sided tapes, especially in this Florida heat. I would contact Cervini first though. Good luck.

I think it's because he installed it bare footed, lol!

Look at dem toes! This little piggy went to Cervinis, this little piggy installed it, oh hell...you get the picture... =)

Yeah, I was afraid this would happen to some people, and more than likely would have been me. Why I still have the OEM wing.

Did you clean the area with rubbing alcohol first? I put on my blackout panel and just cleaned the surface with a towel, but it didn't last very long. So I took it off and cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol and it's on there good! Even with a sub in the trunk

I've used the double sided tape for years, and never had any problems. If you do the prep work right, it will always stick, unless there is a defect with the tape itself.

you may not have cleaned the area properly. when i first got my roush louvers they began to fall off within the first month. i took it back to the shop that installed them and they fixed it, cause i used the shops double sided tape rather then the one it came with, so it was theyr fault and they covered it. but aparantley water got under the tape on my louvers and they had to be reset, never had a problem since.

ive used enough of this stuff to know exactly how to clean the area prior to application. this is just a large piece that is very hard to get perfect. this is my second attempt and i had 2 friends helping me do the job

from the picture where the tape is stuck it looks like the piece is not the same shape or not the same contour? if so could be pulling away from stress?
