Rear lip starting to gap with heat when i first installed my xenon (urathane) rear lip about 3 months ago- it looked perfect. all the seems fit just fine, there were no gaps along the top part where the lip edge meets the bumper. Little by little, gaps started forming around both ends. Now- its getting hot as hell in CT (hot as hell = 93 F), the gaps are getting wider and wider. what should i do??? can i get some sort of glue to fill it in and hold it? or should i take it all off and start over? the tape the lip came with looked like it was good stuff, it was red 3m tape, it came with this adhesive promoter too.

Rep Power: 0 how does redoing help? if the damage is done..its done. maybe buy one of those car covers to put it on the car if you are leaving your car out in the sun for a while..

Rep Power: 0 yea, a picture will help. I have an idea. Maybe you can use something to clam the bumper to the lip and leave it out in the heat or use a heatgun or blow dry to heat that section up, so that the lip will go back to its original shape.

Rep Power: 0 dude i had the same problem with mine , what you do is take it off and remove all the old tape and add some new(don't forget to put on the promoter)and try installing it up alittle higher, it worked for me>
