How to put wing back on??

So I've searched and there's quite a bit about how to remove the wing (bolts/adhesive), but I couldn't find anything about how to put it back on.

I figured that you just replace the bolts, but what about the lack of adhesive? Do you guys use some kind of adhesive to replace the old stuff, and if so, what kind/how to?

Do you leave it without adhesive, and if you do, is there any noticeable difference (gaps, lifting, etc.).

Thanks for your help, gents.

Pretty straight forward. Double-sided 3M foam does the trick. You only need a couple of thin strips - check wing underside for shape guidelines.
If you have the bolts - just make sure you have the two plastic plugs.. one either side. I took mine off with the wing, then ordered replacements when it went back on.
Tighten everything up - the rubber bumpers need adjusting. You're good to go.

NO Dont put it back on. J/P. Like the others said, 3m will work just fine. But really tho, it looks better without it
