I'd recommend just before putting the spoiler on, heat up the tape a little. Then put it on, apply some heat& pressure. Make sure it's on well (don't pull it off to test it right then). Wait a bit before driving. Best of luck!!

he is 100% correct. you didn't prep properly and/or you applied it in cool weather without a hairdryer. 3m acrylic foam tape likes to be warmed. you can also order molding tape "adhesion promoter" from amazon that comes in small moist towelette indivudual pack form and u wipe it on the area you are applying(with gloves on!) and whatever you are applying is not coming off
.. with a brand new car with a smooth unscraped front bumper i can apply a front lip with just 3M tape and no screws if i use the adhesion promoter its that strong. its really uncanny stuff
