hey great video, just installed louvers on my my 10th gen civic using this promoter and it worked very well. i had a not so good experience using this promoter installing the rain guards though. i got the promotor on my finger and when i installed the rain guard it left my finger print on the guard and i cant get it off. i tried alcohol and acetone but it didnt help. any suggestions? thinking of using tint wrap on the outside of the guard because that will cover my mistake. any help would be appreciated

So i happened to be lucky and snagged one of these amazon louvers for a 2017 wrx but mine dont have the mounting plates i think with the nuts and washers nor the pre drilled holes for them so i had to order the mounting plate $20 and a 3 pack 3m adhesion promoter sponge pack $15 so my $200 louver will look and stay in place and during car washes very convincing to unmount and remount with nuts! My version is telling me apply the 3m strip around the whole louver😅 well if you do that then its permanent, possible failure to drain rain water too.! The moral of the story here is do your homework and do it right especially if its expensive and your committing to it

My louver (V2 louver from Ikon Motorsports) didn't come with mount pods or screws. The only option was crappy two-sided tape and the louver came off after a couple months. I ended up using industrial strength velcro, which has not only kept the louver on for almost 2 years, but which also allows you to remove the louver to clean the window. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXTTiJSboZmDesU

would 3m adhesive spray 77 work the same way as this? also did you use a silicone sealant around the edge to prevent any water or debris going into the cracks of the mount?
@officialmoparmilitia3314 жыл бұрын
This louver in particular hugged the edges of the rear windshield and the sides of the glass well and so would not allow any sort of debris to come inside and so no silicone sealant is required. The spray 77 is its own adhesive/glue, as the liquid used in the video is more of an adhesive promoter for the 3M tape, it bonds the 3M tape making it a stronger hold.
@Ms.Angie0574 жыл бұрын
Does this 3M liquid really work for Louvers?

The 3M liquid assists in strengthening the bond between the 3M double sided tape, the vehicle's glass, and the louver. The quality and design of the louver being installed is a completely different story.
