Wow ive just been googling this exact question haha..

Got a new spoiler back from the spray shop and didnt want to bolt it in like the old one was so was googling sealants, well know i now what sealant to buy next question

How easy is it to bond the spoiler to the roof? do i need to clamp the spoiler down for it to set?

what I was going to do was bond it on the car chuck some tarpaulin over it covering the boot and put something on it to keep the pressure on so it dont move if that makes sense
