Hey all. a little while back i had an evo 7 wing installed on my lancer. the shop did a horrible job, its not on straight and several other issues, and id already been back and they refused to fix it. now i have a new problem, one of the covers on the side of the spoiler, the cover near the top, has come loose and keeps popping off. ive pushed it back in several times and it still keeps coming off. it has moved around so much now that the paint is starting to chip. so the question im trying to ask is, what is the best way to try to fix this? is there a special glue i should use? should i go back to the shop again and just ***** them out untill they fix the mess that they made? Has this happened to anyone else?

thanx for the help

 

hmmm... does your cover have any screws? i'm not sure exactly how your wing is, but the 7 wings i've seen have 2 screws in each of the covers, on each side. i dont know what to say. it just seems like they did a really bad job from the sound of it. that cover should definately not be falling off.

 

naw no screws. it looks like they used some kind of glue thing, not to sure tho. whatever it was it didnt work to well, lol. ill try to post a pic of it tomorrow when its light out.

 

Was this a true Evo 7 wing or a clone?

 

probably a clone, just an aftermarket wing

 

bump cause i really wanna get this done before it gets too cold out

 

Look into a industrial strength adhesive.. 3M makes a very good one.. I believe its 5200 Marine Adhesive all weather.

 

Dave- thanx, ill look into that this afternoon

 

pic would help.

I had an evoVII wing on my old o2 and it was put on horrible wrong and I had to use this glue to hold the side panels in (the ones that cover the bolts) and the glue gave up after 2months, it sucked ***... but nobody said anything to me, but i knew what people where thinking

 

heres a nice idea... torch the bodyshop... (lol) and then find a new one and have them paint it over and have them glue it on for u!!.. or just be cheap and use glue and have it look chipped and all ascew..! your choice...gl.

 

That sucks man. If it doesn't have the screws...it's a clone. How much did you pay for it, just curious.

 

hey im from MA i might be able to help u out. what part u from? pm back or ill check later on. p'z

 

well torchin the bodyshop was first on my agenda, lol jk, cause they really screwed me over, not only in craftsmanship but also in price. i payed way too much and im ashamed to admit exactly how much i payed, cause i was uneducated in the aftermarket scene, lol. i was think bout takin it to another shop, but then i realiezed that i dont really wanna spend alot more on this spoiler. i tried this silicone stuff (couldnt find the 3m one), and it didnt work to well, but i think its because i didnt let it set long enough, so ill go at it again when it stops snowing, lol. i appreciate all the feed back and help.
