Window louve's. Pretty upset about it..

So I went and bought the window louve's for the side window's... were only like $130 (ha! i say only...) anyway. somewhere between driving to work and coming home (20 miles) the driver side came off... yeah, what a waste. Anyone else have a problem with the 3M double sided tape? you can even see where it ripped off! I can't believe I didn't hear it.

Maybe it was the window louve's repellent they install at the factory.

I think that was your Camaro's way of saying "me no likey."

Wow, I'd be pissed if my $130 louver flew off! I haven't ever had a problem with the 3M tape, as long as the area is clean and free of dust. Where did the tape let go? Did it let go of your window or of the louver?

not trying to be an ass or anywhere along those lines, but typically that 3M body tape has a curing time to fully adhere.

Sorry that it blew off on your drive though- that's no fun.

Make sure you call the company that made it and let them know. It might be a common issue or you may be the first one to have a problem. Maybe they had a bad batch of tape or something. As long as you followed the installation instructions properly, then they should help you out somehow in getting a replacement.

That will teach you a lesson for treating your Camaro like a Mustang. Hopefully the Ford emblems fall off next.
