CarbonSignal Diffuser Installed

122554

After traveling the last two weeks, I finally was able to install the diffuser I brought back from Dubai.

A few things about the install. I used 3M 5952 tape to secure it to the original bumper. Due to humid conditions, I found a heat gun indispensable for helping to use the silicone glue along the upper edge. As you can see in the pics, 2x4's also helped!

Just because I didn't know how well everything would hold, I found some flathead bolts at Lowe's and installed them at both corners on the bottom.

UPDATE

The silicone glue did not hold! After trying another product that also failed, I think I found the solution, after talking to a local body shop.

I used 3M 08609 Windshield adhesive. Picked it up at CarQuest, but it ain't cheap! $30 a tube. I ran a bead along the top edge. Used most of the tube. Clean up wasn't too bad, denatured alcohol and a roll of paper towels.

After it set up, I re-installed the two bolts I had previously placed at the lower corners.

So far, so good!
