Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
VHB is now being used to replace welding and mechanical fastening for light gauge metals and obviously plastic in many industries that require a butt type connection.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

And yet, I like it. It would be particularly nice on a black coupe,...
Nice late 70's, 80's retro look, which is of course the whole point.
On maybe an early C2 cabriolet (Ivangene, are you looking at this?)
And in the down position, it gives you a flat place to set your beer and sandwich.
I will look at work after lunch, the blaclberry is tough to reallly see the pics, but my thought is I hate the stock little pop up little flakey tiny butterfly wing thing so that thing is like adding a pointing finger at the one thing I hate and saying "Look and the stupid wing thing I hate so much I spent extra money to show you how icky it is"
Sorry - as some know I can be a bit bi-polar
nope - my previous post stands....
and Bruce, ever thought of a GT2 wing for your Pinto...
Might give you a whole new appreciation of the big wing concept
A Pinto needs a Subaru Sti wing with roof spoiler as far as I am concerned, although something sticking out farther in the rear would protect the vulnerable gas tank
Hey Bruce, isn't that ^ the air scoop I sold you after I de-modded my 996? It looks good in yellow!
Sorry, the mini wing extension isn't "doing it" for me.
I'm not gonna comment on the wing, but as long as it's 3M VHB tape and is prepped correctly it will never come off. VHB is now being used to replace welding and mechanical fastening for light gauge metals and obviously plastic in many industries that require a butt type connection. Unlike stitch, seam welding, or mechanical fastening it is able to bite 100% on both surfaces. Not as good as the modern epoxys used in body applications, but very close and a lot less mess.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
