hey guys, I have this rear window extension from maxton, 3m double taped down as it didn’t come with any on. Always seem to have one part not stuck down? Any tips or anything I can use? Anything helps Ty :)

There was some research done a while back, by Verus Engineering I think, which determined airflow was much better without the addition of a upper rear window spoiler.
Sadly, all this will be doing is causing drag :(

If your OK with that and this is purely an aesthetic thing... My guess would be the part isn't sitting flush due to it being warped.
With the part off the car, you could try applying a little heat to soften it up, allowing you to bend it a little before reinstalling (while the part is still warm) and applying a bit of weight while the tape sets and the part cools.

I've heard don't try to stick things like this when its cold. Try heat the glass up a bit and the spoiler/tape. Mines still stuck after several years.
