RE: NEVER BUY XENON
Correct me if I'm wrong, and probably am, but don't most of these use 3m tape? As Xenon doesn't make the tape that sticks them on it should seem that 3m would be who you should be mad at.
Also, did you put the tape on a surface that still had wax on it?
How fast do you drive?

+1 Sounds like an adhesive problem not a part problem. Surface prep is key!

RE: NEVER BUY XENON
For one thing I have done this three times............and no xenon doesn't use 3m tape I used what they gave me the first time then the other 2 times I used 3m...........also I did do the prep right I cleaned with alcohol like I susposed too..................And it is Xenons fault cause their mold sucks it wasn't the tape it was the edges would never stick because the product wouldnt curve with the body, for it being to stiff............so I finally called xenon after 2 days searching for the number (just to let you know they changed there name there no longer called xenon) so I called and after talking to a retard for 20 minutes, he switched me to this other guy who said "THANKS FOR CALLING AMERICANS GREATEST CAR PRODUCTS THIS IS DR. XENON HOW CAN I HELP YOU"................I told him my problem and he said well since you already painted it we can help have a great day and hung up.............[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

To answer your ? Rogue, the first time they lasted 2 months the next time about 3 weeks, this time 1 day.............. so oh well it did make me feel better when I stomped them and threw it as hard as I could in the DUMPSTER

RE: NEVER BUY XENON
My xenon window scoops and side scoops have been on for a year and a half now with no problems whatsoever. You should be looking somewere else for the problem. ...I bet the key is in the prep work. I body shop installed mine and i havent had a problem yet. Let a profesional do it if you are having so many dificulties. Good Luck

RE: NEVER BUY XENON
Two different body shops did mine the first two times, but the last time I did them.................. I even watched the body shops when they put them on and they all did the prep correct............ hell the first body shop followed the directions that xenon gave in the box and they still came off....I didn't wash the car for 4 days after putting them on.........I let the car sit over night before driving after putting them on...........I did everything by the book, they always started coming off at the edges closes to the side windows then they would get worse and worse!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: NEVER BUY XENON
Maybe you simply got a defective product.
Did you contact the company you bought them from to try and exchange this for a new one, see if that would work?
*edit*
Unless you bought direct from Xenon. But still that sounds a bit harsh to say "oh it's painted, can't take it back." I'd call them up and say "No I didn't" just to see what they will say.
