Default Great...the adhesive on my M3 spoiler is coming off...

after just a year! Since it wasn't an OEM M3 spoiler/adhesive, i'm guessing some cheapo brand was used.

Any suggestions as to what kind of adhesive tape to use now once i get it off?

Default Or call a transplant surgeon and ask for anti-rejection drugs....

but then your car will have a depressed immune system, confusion or memory problems, and other transient mental disturbances.

but at least you can keep that snappy M3 lip, right?

BTW, Iamawesome gave you the best answer -- 3M trim adhesive is best.

Goo Gone, mineral spirits, or elbow grease.
