wow, that loose? huh. The tape he uses are thicker than the usual ones, so they should hold on better. Did you guys take it off and put it on a couple of times?
I'd look into getting a U bracket that'll pretty much clip the glass and visor together. I'll look around at lowe's/home depot sometime this week to look for something that can be used.
and again,

no i didnt re apply it at all, just cleaned the glass, made sure there was no residue of the glass cleaner then peeled the backing and stuck it on right at the edge, no moving or re applying.

I'm thinking at highway speeds, the wind could be catching onto the roof visor and lifting it up a bit. so, i know this sounds like a super band-aid fix, but maybe cover that gap with something. if you want something more permanent, maybe something like black silicone will work, but idk how many people would be enthusiastic about a fix like that.
this is what i did just now:
I pretty much just stuck on electric tape to keep wind from getting under the visor. I wouldn't really be able to tell if its working or not, as my roof visor was still stuck on at both corners, but maybe it's a fix. the problem now is that the double-sided tape probably lost some of its adhesive strength due to being exposed.

I haven't had any problems with the roof visor lifting off. Before I installed it, I cleaned the glass and then I heated up the adhesive a little bit so it gets a little stickier. Seems to work for me because I tried lifting it off myself with some force and it doesnt budge.

This is actually really smart. When i was installing mine, it was pretty cold and i was kinda worried it wouldn't stick on as well as I wanted, but I had no blow dryer or heat gun avail so w/e.

Hi guys!
here is a instruction of the window visor. The process is the same. Please be sure clean the rear glass with water first, then pill off the edge of the 3M tape ( 1 to 2 inches, please see picture 3). Third, align with the rear glass edge. fourth, remove the tape strip while the spoiler is sitting on the rear glass. Last, firmly press down the spoiler for a few sec, this process will allow the tape to bound.
The 3M tape is not design for multiple uses.
Thanks
