OK, I am getting a wing! And will need to beg,buy,borrow or steal a betalink gun to glue it Also I willl need the beta cleaner ,primer and epoxy , any ideas? You don't have sand the roof down to bare metal ,for the adhesive to work ,do you?

 

Or just have the dealership do it so if any problems arise later you will have a warranty.

 

I miight do that , but its unlikely because the dealers are so far away its way too much trouble.
I have the wing here ,now I need to install it

For not a bunch extra you can get the gun, glue and touch up paint when you buy the wing from them. They also have a huge discount on the wing last I looked.

 

Thanks for the info,,, I checked ,I think thier website does not reflect the newest glue.
So I'm told. More to come as I figure it out.


John Cooper Works Roof Spoiler Item #:Price:Qty:Roof Spoiler $486.77 If installing yourself, you will need the following... Adhesive - 83-19-0-413-384 $40.00 Application Gun - 83-19-0-406-983 $75.00

 

If you can wait about a week to 10-days, i will have the gun for sale once my JCW is installed since i wont be needing it anymore. I doubt the glue tube would have much in it and not worth reselling it.

 

So will k1 (non gun type ) work or will I need to send back that stuff and use the the K2 ,applied with the $75 double barrel gun?

 

That i am not sure. Maybe someone here who already has the wing installed can answer that. I myself am getting the adhesive, gun and all from Morristown.

 

I havn't figured out the glue thing yet. But I did remove the s spoiler last nite. Do not pry too much even with a protection, underneath, you will dent the surrounding metal Use a heat gun to soffen the adhesive . I used a steel fishing leader with two vise grips to cut the foam tape glued down. It did not scratch the paint!Don't scrape the trim around the windows and remember there is a stud so you have to go from both directions. You can heat the wire up too. Don't burn the plastic or paint ,just keep feeling the heat so you don't get it too hot. You can shoot the heat underneath through the nut access holes to warm up the steel hatch. A big PITA. I had a paintless dent repair guy fix my goofups

 

getting a borrowed gun and K2

 

Got the glue kit, and its a duezy , the Germans don't fool around with stickin' stuff on cars! I'll have to post some photos of the system. But I havn't recieved my loaned gun yet

 

Looks like pberry51mini has dropped off NAM, he has not got back to me, soooo, I still need to borrow a Beta glue gun Anyone else have one I could borrow?
