Bolt it on!!!!!

I loved my Shark Racing roof spoiler. It looked great.







Until the tape came off and it broke.





Those tape-on spoilers all meet the same fate. They all fall off and break sometime around 6 months after you put them on. Mine lasted about 8 months and 2 1,000 mile road trips. Trust me when I say bolt it on somehow.

I now have the ATH spoiler and I like it slightly more then the SR.

You cant really bolt it on. It fits inside the window if I remember correctly. I had one at some point and sold it because I didnt trust it. Dont even remember how I got it in the first place.

Have it professionally mounted to the window. You can have a glass company drill through it, then bolt it on.

if you can get a bolt fiberglassed (or however you want to attach it), attached to the bottom of the spoiler, then you could just pull off the hatch interior roof paneling... not very difficult. theres like 5 pieces if i remember right. then mark on the outside of the car where the bolts will go through..... drill through it the diameter plus some of the bolt and stick the spoiler on the roof (weather seal the connection) and tighten the nuts and washers on the bolts and you just professionally installed your roof spoiler.

i had to do the same thing for my cuda spoiler.

The spoiler has a lip on it. The best way would be to drill through the lip and the window, then put a plastic stud through and clip it on the other end.
