On my 1st nova i just stuck mine on with tiger seal - didnt budge once.

I use it all the time now lol

yeah any automotive sealant/bonding glue should do the trick, tigerseal, sikaflex etc just dont think youre doing it cheaper by using household sealer - bye bye spoiler, if you wanted you could also put some screws in from the rear?

Yeh I got same issue.

Not a fibreglass copy but a proper spoiler so its quite heavy, but the screws in the kit look way too short.

how strong is tigerseal, sikaflex?

[Nobby]

where do you get this tigerseal from do you have 2 prep it 1st??

ebay - just type it in - its about ?8.50 a tube - you need an applicator gun too (similar to that used for applying sealant round your bath).

Tiger seal or sikaflex is good if its fibreglass as its light. Dont use it for GM part though - too heavy and is a biatch to position - needs to be secured for several hours to allow full curing.

you can apply direct to paint although personally Id take the paint back a bit to help with the keying - if you bond to paint you are relying on the adhesion of the paint layer to hold the panel on...

Is the panel solid or is there a hole wheer it would bond on to the car? If ther is full the hole with expanding foam. Stop it filling with water...
