Anyone have a Dawn / Sportwing Spoiler?
On eBay, they are marketed as Sportwing, but they are Dawn spoilers. Anyone have this?
If so, how's fitment? Does water collect underneath? Is the adhesive holding on the far edges? These only use two screws, to the OEM's 11 screws. It relies a lot on the 3M backing tape. |
A picture would help

Or a link.

My main concern is if the 3M adhesive strips are going to hold, and last. The spoiler mounts with two screws towards the center, and relies on the adhesive strips to achieve the flush-mount.
Here's a pic of the spoiler just sitting on my car, not installed. Looks fine.. http://www.the370z.com/members/menze...iersitting.png Here's one end. Notice the gap that the adhesive must overcome. http://www.the370z.com/members/menze...e93402-gap.png And another view of the gap.. http://www.the370z.com/members/menze...93401-gap2.png So I'm supposed to "press down" and just assume the adhesive will bond. Does anyone else have this spoiler or similar that uses adhesive strips? |
If made out of flimsy garden trim yes.. But if a solid piece no.

Every spoiler, OEM or not, uses 3M Tape (plus bolts).

I had gaps on the ends in mine when it was just sitting on the trunk. The amount of torque I had to put on the outside screws to get it to lay flat was quite a bit. I would probably say that it won't hold if it is anything like mine.

EDIT - I went & looked up your spoiler & found that it says it is made of ABS plastic. So now I'm not too sure about how it will do. Most of the spoilers like the one I referenced above are fiberglass. http://www.carid.com/2014-nissan-370...ers%5B0%5D=346 |
