I bought a roof spoiler and it attaches to the glass. I wanted to know what you guys think i should use as the best way to attach the spoiler. Thanks.

A roof spoiler? Wow, I'll bet that car will be fast.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

yeah, adds 15 bhp. lol. no it is purely cosmetic. just curious on what to use to bond it to the window.

I am putting it on a 2003 Honda Civic Coupe.
the spoiler is only flush to the window near the windows edges, as you can see.

Recommend using 3M automotive 2-sided tape. Clean the contact areas (wings and window) with alcohol prep pad. Put on promoter on the contact areas and apply. Give it a firm press and take it easy on the roads for the next 48 hours. If you want to make it really smooth, then get a body shop to mould it in. (or you can do it yourself)

Good Luck!
