origin roof spoiler - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

PhilipJdm · 10-22-2009, 05:32 PM

yeah i got a origin spoiler for my 13 coupe, but i cant find a way to get it to be stuck on really good, it always tends to lose the stickiness and comes off, i love how it looks but i hate how someone can just pull it off, anyone have something better than 3m double sided tape. something stronger and is water proof, or something. and to add to the trouble the wing has curvature which don't really match up with the rear windshield

surge s14 · 10-22-2009, 05:37 PM

3M tape get it at Vatozone

HyperTek · 10-22-2009, 05:38 PM

real 3m tape not good enough? maybe your not getting a good contact? sure you cleaned the windsheild good before applying?

*D.Bo* · 10-22-2009, 05:41 PM

you got pics of it im thinkin about gettin one for my coupe

bornslippy73 · 10-22-2009, 05:47 PM

I have an Origin carbon fiber 3 piece hatch spoiler on my carbon fiber hatch. I use 3M double sided tape and it works great. I never had issues of water or weathering destroying the adhesiveness.

You have to clean and dry the surface in which you will be laying the tape on. Press firmly before removing the other side of the tape covering to ensure the tape has made full contact with the surface.

sleep · 10-22-2009, 06:01 PM

this isn't rocket science.....

Make sure you are using REAL 3m tape.

pinkarrowsnow · 10-22-2009, 06:06 PM

3m double sided has held mine on for forever works awesome!

bboyoracle · 10-22-2009, 06:21 PM

Like mentioned in this thread, make sure you clean the area where you will place the 3m double sided tape. Also if you can, use 3M adhesion promoter for better contact:

Slammed180 · 10-22-2009, 07:06 PM

Silicone. That shit will never come off.

blackoutt · 10-22-2009, 07:40 PM

problem solved

*deolio* · 10-22-2009, 07:44 PM

i've got some "m3 double sided auto exterior tape"(or something like that) that i found at vatozone that's been holding mine on for a year with no problems.

HyperTek · 10-22-2009, 08:20 PM

there was a thread a while ago some guy couldnt get his tapped wing off lol

5t341tH · 10-22-2009, 10:55 PM

i used the 3M grey kind. it has a red backing. sticks like super glue
its also the same kinda doubleside tape the OEM window visors use.

*cxlo8331* · 10-22-2009, 11:02 PM

really?!?!?!?!

use 3m. clean both surfaces with a good cleaner. then again w/ alchohol to remove any left over residue. let dry, then apply. let set in place for a few hours to be safe.

PhilipJdm · 10-23-2009, 02:00 AM

yeah real 3m and the contact isnt great on the sides since it pops up a little from curvature issues, i even got my brother to hold down the side while i used a heat gun inside to heat it up i can even smell the adhesive odors

5t341tH · 10-23-2009, 03:52 AM

fitment issues?
u got real origin or fake?
my gp sports fit perfect.

That's what I'm thinking. Sounds like it is warped and not holding the curvature of the window.

nathanong87 · 10-23-2009, 02:13 PM

i have a origin roof spoiler for the s14 and fitment wasn't even 100%.... YET 3m tape (off the shelf) was enough to keep it really STUCK through rain, heat, etc.

i haven't had any complaints. literally the only way i'd be able to take it off now is to use a razor on the glass part. make sure u clean the glass surface!

HyperTek · 10-23-2009, 02:52 PM

do one layer of tape, and than where the spoiler lifts up, double up the tape on that area etc.

PhilipJdm · 10-23-2009, 03:20 PM

its origin, i got it from phase2motortrend. yeah i might do the double layer thing, that day i put it on i just washed my car, so use rubbing alcohol or?

*S14_Kouki* · 10-24-2009, 11:59 AM

Yeah my origin roof spoiler fit like shit. (s14)

PhilipJdm · 10-25-2009, 03:58 AM

i dont understand why though isnt origin a name brand? but yeah i got to try the double layer

Well maybe you did not use 3m tape, duuh.

ZEN14 · 10-26-2009, 12:42 AM

the origin fitment on my 14 was not too good either, i sent it back, got a replacement and still the fitment was not that great but i dealt with it... but like what everyone else said, make sure both surface is clean, use 3M double sided tape, let it sit for a couple hours that wing shouldnt go nowhere... had mine on for almost 4 years till i took it off a month ago, did not have any problem with it getting loose

PhilipJdm · 10-28-2009, 12:33 AM

yeah, i just havent had time since i was going to but in SGV its really windy and dusty right now so i hope it clears up and i get the wing on, and some asshole smashed my passenger window and stole my brother ipod the other day too. only stole the ipod not my steering wheel no money surprised. it could of been worst

Bubbles · 10-28-2009, 12:54 AM

Have you ever considered using 3M tape?
