Hi, we have an eyebrow spoiler all painted and ready to fit above the front grille on our 1980 air cooled.

Has anyone done this and if so, what is the best way to attach it to the grille? Could you use grip adhesive (is this likely to be secure enough) or is screwing the only other option?

Cheers.

the guys at vanwest used velcro and sicoflex the velcro went almost ene to end then the sicoflex was just at the ends to hold in place but can be removed to get to lights etc hope this helps

Great idea! Thanks - any idea where I can get this from?

Sicoflex sounds a tad too permanent to me. This may be ok with the shallow eyebrow spoiler but not the deep one. The deep one needs to be removed to adjust the headlight aim if required.

I have the deep one on my van & it is fitted using a small self tapper at each top corner. Iirc the self tapper goes through the spoiler & into a small metal square thing attached to the upper grille. (N.B. ''small metal square thing'' is a technical term ).

Thanks for the tip. Excuse my ignorance but was is sicoflex and where do you get it from?
Regarding using self tappers, not sure what bit you are referring to 'metal thing on grille'? Don't suppose you have any pics do you? I think my spoiler is the shallow one.

i have the smaller one and fitted mine using a few self tappers along the top edge into the grill itself works a treat!

Sicoflex is the stuff used to stick a high top to the edges of a vehicle roof.
It will not react with metal unlike silicone sealant which cause corrosion. I'll have to go outside & double check whether or not those self tappers are screwed directly into the plastic grille or into a ''metal thingy''.

fitted mine with 3 small self tappers, seems to have done the job

i have mine fitted with self tappers and works just fine!!!

Small brass self tappers were on mine!

Hi there where can i get one from?
