Rear spoiler sealant (3M adhesive)?
 
I have a Stillen rear spoiler which is attached with 3M adhesive and it's fine right now, but I notice a coworker has the 5 AD spoiler and the adhesive looks water damaged. Anybody know a good sealant that is not super permanent (like the 3M adhesive)? I was looking at these:

I pulled off the @wheeldude Stivo spoiler because the adhesive was terrible, it lifted after a month.

I plan on either selling it or trying a much higher quality adhesive the next time

I use silicone to seal gaps and spoiler holes all the time. Rips off with some pressure (not permanent) and does the job. In your case I will try this in combination with 3m double sided adhesive.

There are so many types.. "Silicone adhesive", gasket maker, etc. is there just silicon .. From an auto store, or from a hardware store?

I got mine at an autoparts store (O'REILLY Autoparts) but I am sure you can get it at a hardware store. What I looked for was any clear silicone. I believe I used the RTV gasket maker rather than the adhesive. I am sure both work fine. The adhesive might be harder to remove. The one I used could be removed easily with a rag and not much effort.

I think the link you posted will work perfectly with what you are working with.

I am also local so if you need any advice/ an extra hand feel free to shoot me a PM. I could probably find some silicone I have laying around and give it to you.
