My CHMSL fell off my RS Coupe spoiler - tell me if this is a stupid idea..

I also posted in the "Interior, Exterior and lighting" forum as that's prolly the correct place for it. Thought maybe someone local has already done this or something..

I closed my '01 RS trunk too hard and the brake light fell off. It is attached with 3 little plastic tabs and screws, and they all three snapped (they must have already been weak or that is just lame). I was thinking to use those little 3M double-stick foam pads and a bead of black silicone to hold it on. The light is fine, and I just don't want to pay $167 for three plastic tabs that could easily break again.

So.. You think silicone and double-stick foam pads will hold my brake light on the spoiler? Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Jacob

Ooooh you mean that black goo of death? That's an awesome idea! I thought of JB weld, but was thinking more like silicone since I believe JB weld gets really brittle in cold.

I will look for that stuff tonite tho - gonna go to Orchard and raid the "adhesives" section.

Thanks for the idea..
