Issue with Beatsonic Sharkfin (loose after application 2 months out)

I was washing my car today when i noticed the back end of the Beatsonic sharkfin was loose. no effing way i thought...the area was washed, cleaned with alcohol, cleaning wipe used, laser lined and applied with pressure for the minute required (OCD much?).

The back end lifts ever so slightly and i look to see the adhesive still applied to the car, but the part attached to the sharkfin has separated.

Anyone have similar experiences? solutions?

THanks
