it is a bad idea to use tape period on ground effects of a car, any car period. drill 3 screws evenly spaced under the ground effect, in the middle section and the problem will be solved.just use a little commense as to how long the screw should be and how tuck them far enough back as to not be seen.
but thanks for the memeo.

How do you know for sure that your dealer installed the front piece correctly? Did you count all the rivets, removed the front fascia and confirmed the correct amount of rivets were installed with it off?
Did you leave your car in the bay area over a lift? The instruction says the front fascia needs to be removed for a few of those rivets to be installed. It seems your dealer didn't follow the instructions to the letter and they just installed the front piece with the double sided tape and probably some but not all the rivets were installed. They probably didn't bother taking the front fascia off to install the required amount of rivets. If you didn't leave your car over a lift and they couldn't move your car to a lift, they probably didn't want to be bothered using a regular jack to lift the front and work on their back to install the front piece correctly. You don't see too many dealer mechanics crawling around on their backs under a car these days, do you?
