Adhesive recommendation

I installed my carbon fiber m performance rear deck spoiler 3 weeks ago. The 3m tape is starting to weaken. Any suggestions for a fix? Is epoxy or 3m spray a safe choice? Thx

My Vorsteiner spoiler has been glued (presumably with epoxy) AND taped and holding incredibly well for 7 months now. It has to come off in about a week since Vorsteiner is sending me a free replacement because mine developed a bit of sun damage (from this hellish Florida heat) and now I'm a little worried as to how safely it will come off. The dealer is reassuring me it should come off without damaging the trunk or further damaging the spoiler, but I'm nervous as most of my friends had advised against glueing it on. If it does come off cleanly, however, I'd see no reason to not glue yours to the trunk with epoxy.

Epoxy is probably safer than urethane.. urethane is what the factory uses.. if not careful you can rip the paint off.

Use epoxy - the tape leaves a gap too, which is noticeable. epoxy is stronger and leaves a clean, tight finish.

Stay away from epoxy. I attempted to re secure my rear deck m spoiler and due to the fact that the spoiler's form does not evenly contact the body of my car, getting a strong hold was difficult. I then removed it and had 2 hours of clean up.
Tip: goo be gone will remove epoxy after intense rubbing. Followed up with pressure wash and wax and look was restored. Stick to 3M...my 2 cents.

My apologies -- not epoxy. Use 3M Windshield Urethane.
