dont mind posting it tbh, just make me an offer, you would need to either cut the bolts and bond or get some glass with the holes in  :wink:

Best way to put gti spoiler on 1.4? I want to use glue, easier than getting new glass with bolt holes; but which glue is best to use? I heard that araldite cracks the glass ... glue suggestions ...

Sikaflex dude, use that & leave over night, clamped in place if you can. Won't come off! :wink:

Thanks for the replys, its actually for a 1.4 so i think il have a problem with getting on , might look bit dodgy with glue. :sad: Do you think it would be best to leave it off??  :rolleyes:


eightyeightmph is yours a bolt on or glue? how much would you want all together with postage?  :nerd:


No different to the smaller engined models, remove the bolt threads & glue in place with Sikaflex or similar.

Would sell it for £15 posted.

Couldn't find "Sikaflex" today!?! It is like a special item? I found some stuff in DIY stores; No more nails, sealant bonding. Is there any other bonds you can get from DIY store (Homebase/B&Q) that are pretty much the same as Sikaflex? You can get it one ebay for like £10 delivered.

Cheers all,

LL ;)

For one it will have a gap all around the edges because of the thickness of the velcro which will look  :sick:
It may hold a ceratin weight and handle getting a bit wet but dont think its designed to withstand our constantly sh!te british weather and winds of 70+ mph when your drivin!
