stock rubber lip fix?

Anyone have solution for the stock black rubber lip that goes on the aero from falling off?

Or any type of adhesive they used to hold it on as well.

I ended up removing mine. I removed the bolts and clips, and peeled off the rubber inch by inch. I then removed the remaining glue gunk from underneath the lip. I actually like the way it looks better with it off, I also needed the additional half of an inch of clearance, I had actually scuffed my piece a little bit in the winter times, I have not had any scuffing on the front lip since it was removed.

There is a repair kit you can purchase from your dealer's parts department. It includes adhesive and replacement clips. One kit has enough parts for half the lip. (Sorry, don't have the part number handy.)

Yeah I used heavy duty glue, changed the oem clips for washers and real nuts/bolts, and it works. Mine looks like crap right now, need to fix it, because I pulled forward too much and hit the parking lot cement bumper thingy... but it didn't fall off!

I used some really effin strong epoxy. The kind with two sides you mix and need a mask to prevent yourself from passing out, and if you touch it you might as well kiss your skin goodbye..LOL

Like erniebu said, change out the clips and whatnot, use really strong glue. However the more you hit it on things the more you'll actually deform and take chunks out of the actual rubber. I ended up taking mine off. Turns out the epoxy works better on skin than the rubber anyway. lol
