    Picture request of the TA 1 wing showing exact placement

    Looking for a picture showing exactly how close to the edge the factory placement of the TA 1 wing is. Every picture I find is a bit to far to tell. Thanks in advance

    Not factory but I placed mine exactly on the edge of the rear lip.
    I’m very anal about the way things look and I made sure every edge lined up to rear lip even the sides…

    Same. It would look odd not following the edge.

    Perfect! Thanks guys. Looks like it pretty much goes right up to where the rounding of the edge starts.

    I think it was an epoxy, hard to tell after I cut thru it with fishing line. It also seemed not uniform enough for tape
    I would think the tape would work fine if the trunk lid and wing was cleaned well

    3M window weld is what is recommended. It appears to be what the OEM was installed with. But, I’ve seen 3M tape used as well. I went with 3M window weld as the urethane is supposed to bond really well to the slight remaining amount from the previous install.
