Hi Everyone,

I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima with a spoiler that broke off the back. could I glue it back on and is there a special kind of glue for that?

Not if you want it to stay on.

Go to the parts store and get some 3M automotive trim tape.

[https://www.3m.com/3M/en\_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Super-Strength-Molding-Tape/?N=5002385+3293241071&rt=rud](https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Super-Strength-Molding-Tape/?N=5002385+3293241071&rt=rud)

Clean both surfaces by spraying down a rag with brake parts cleaner and wiping the surfaces.

Apply the tape to the spoiler.

Peel the backing off the tape, and place the spoiler in position.

Make sure the spoiler is the correct position.

Because once the tape comes in contact with other surface . it’s nearly impossible to remove.

Is this the same vehicle that needed a transmission ? If so what did you decide.

no, that’s my other vehicle. I got a remanufactured tranny put in. It’s working well now. Thank you!
