2005 CLK500 Spoiler Loose

[nderevj]

Today I noticed that the right side of my rear spoiler is loose. I just recently picked up a used 2005 CLK500 Coupe. Does anyone know how the spoiler is installed, and is there a way to re-secure it?

It's held on with double sided sticky tape.

Try some silicone adheadsive. Be sure the surfaces are clean 1st.

Wow, its really held on by tape?

Two more questions:
1) Whats the best way to remove the spoiler without damage it or the car?
2) Is there a certain brand of silicone adhesive you recommend?

use dental floss...doubled up to cut the tape also a heat gun helps to soften the tape

I Would NOT glue it on but use special spoiler double side tape ...

Ya... glue it on... nothing to worry about... the Space Shuttle use glue to stick on the Ceramic Tiles on the surface of the shuttle!
