And I'm righter than Nuke!!
Because there's no way that you'll get my SHR off in the same circumstances.
3M tape is tough as it gets when applied properly (No offense Lupo).
Besides, you're not supposed to pressure wash a car too close anyway.
I've seen people warping aluminum panels that way, lol.

i believe i cleaned and prepped the area properly, but now that i think back on the day that i did the install, i think it was a tad bit cold...when i bought new 3m tape, i noticed it should be applied in temps above 65...so it's time to redo

My louvers wont budge either. I bought them from AM in August 2010 and have been through numerous high pressure touchless washes. Still holding as strong as the day I put them on

I've seen pressure washers blow grains of asphalt off the driveway.. so imagine what it does to your car point blank.

Haven't had any issues with my louvers and 3M tape. Possibly something got contaminated during application. I'm sure it was an expensive piece to loose..

i'm sorry.. but the more i think about this, i can't imagine high-pressure washing any of my vehicles.. at least ones that i cared about..

i mean, i have done my truck to get the thick mud off.. and there are spots on my tailgate (inside) where i blew paint off.. but its a daily driver and a truck.. but i know how easy it is to get carried away with them..

hand washing for my baby only! lol

I believe this is what happened to my new one now as well. I used to just be a corner that was sticking up, now the top is starting to look sketchy since I washed my car yesterday for the first time in awhile. I think I also installed my second one in late Fall last year, which it is likely that it didn't get to be that warm here in Ohio.
