We are on our second spoiler from GM and both are missing the mounting tape. Have any of you experienced this? Kind of frustrating!

First I would use the extra studs but you can find 3M double sided tape at your local Home Depot or Autozone.

We can get the tape on each side of studs but cant find thick tape on ends anywhere!

My local dealer where I get all my parts is getting them through his ADI. Supposedly they are coming straight from the manufacturer.

I don't see that the tape is really needed if you use the outer nuts and bolts but it was included with the spoiler so I used both.
