Try double stick tape and adhesion promotor.

i just installed mine with 3M tape:
3M 03614 Scotch-Mount 1/2" x 15' Molding Tape : Amazon.com : Automotive 3M 03614 Scotch-Mount 1/2" x 15' Molding Tape : Amazon.com : Automotive

Make sure you clean both the glass and back of spoiler with diluted rubbing alcohol before applying the tape. Apply tape and hold for at least 30 seconds.

Why diluted rubbing alcohol?

Where did you get your roof spoiler?

Was it factory color?

Do roof spoilers have any issues with the antenna?

Also doing this in a sun will help. I used a blow dryer to heat up the tape before putting it on and then held it there for a good while.

Sorry to ask the obvious but did you take the red tape off the double sided tape? The "glue" actually just enhances the 3M grip.

You need to double the tape at the ends so you don't have that problem

Removes any wax or contaminants that will inhibit the adhesive...

Much easier way with no tape. Buy one for a Nissan Altima Coupe like a 2010. Works perfect. Fits my 2010 G37 sedan perfect & looks great. Only $62 on eBay & $88 at a Nissan dealer.

Do you have a link to the one you bought? I'd like to look at it. Can you post pics? Thanks!

Just do an eBay search for 2010 Altima Coupe sunroof wind deflector & you will find lots. It looks just like it does on an Altimae, totally factory looking.

The thread is about the rear roof spoiler, right? Goes just at the top of the glass on the back windshield. I just received mine in the mail and trying to figure out how best to it to 'smile' along the line of the glass rather than 'frown' as it naturally wants to. If anyone has tip on getting it to fit the way I'm looking for I'd appreciate it.
