Any issues with M&S R4TEN duckbill spoiler??

[Schroedes]

I just received my spoiler today and I'm wondering if any of you guys have the same spoiler and if youve had any issues? At high speed etc? Coming off in any way? Seems a little flimsy for the price... Anyone got any tricks on the install? I saw a post on FB where a guy said his broke in the corners on install.. thanks for any info

Just installed mine also thought it was flimsy for the price. I injected a epoxy glue into the corners because they were going to fall apart one cracked while I was putting the tape on before I put it on it.
My entire car is M&S all the way around overpriced for the quality

Ya it definitely seems thin, paid $600 for this thing painted.. so your saying be gentle while laying the tape on? I ordered thicker 3m tape.. what epoxy glue did ya use? Thanks

I tried thicker 3M tape on my side skirts I wasn't happy the way it looked. The tape stood out too much.

I guess I shouldn't say thicker, just wider, I'll grab a little loctite in case.. I'm thinking once the spoiler is set it should feel a little more rigid eh? I'm currently rockin a different m&s spoiler that I gotta take off

The most important thing you can do is to prep the paint so the tap will stick. You can buy a product for that at a auto parts store. I used paint thinner

For sure... I'll prob just use a 50/50 mix of iso water

I just remembered I used to chopstick with the loctite to get it all the way back in good in the corners I was pushing a little hard on the tape trying to seat it and it cracked before I did that

I bought it about a year ago, painted to match and installed. It's a little flimsier than I expected, but overall not too bad. Yeah the inside corners are a little janky, but I work at a body shop so I cleaned em up myself before paint and made it look better. Just used the provided tape and it's been on the car well over 130+mph, so no complaints here

Was just looking at one of those the other day. That's lame that the quality is lacking. It's one of the only spoilers that I like the look of. Might have to go for the Scorpion spoiler.
