Roof scoop, What adhesive ?
Hi, I bought a roof scoop for my impreza and would like to know what is the best adhesive to use to stick it on as I don't want to drill the roof to screw it down, I have heard about using windscreen adhesive or sikaflex, the problem is, with these you can't get the adhesive off if I decide to take the roof scoop off again, what is the best thing to stick it on with that can also be cleaned of easily at a later date.
Any help much appreciated and thanks in advance. 👍👍

Hi, I bought the roof scoop from LEScoobies and it is only the scoop to go on the roof and not a Vent so it sticks onto the roof without any cutting or any internal pieces and is for show only.

I have a similar issue, not a roof scoop. "what if it flies off on the motorway and kills a biker?" Is still ringing in my ears... Is tiger seal really that reliable?

Appreciate your thoughts mate. I'm looking at sticking on a carbon fibre roof vane spoiler, as bolting would be a complete nightmare. Would probably mean moving the rear seat belt bolts and all sorts of nasties, so I'm thinking tiger seal is the best alternative.

As said, don't bother 
resell it on ebay then use the money and the money saved not buying tiger seal towards some uprated brake pads, one of the best mods you'll ever do.

.....don't forget the Lexus style rear lights too...- Devalues the car
- Looks utterly sh1te
- No use as it's fake
- Ruins the paint
- More hassle than what it's worth
It's only good if it's genuine OEM, like a roof vent on various other models.
