fitted my Origin one with Tiger Seal about a year ago, still stuck fast!

Tiger Seal will NOT come off easily once you\'ve stuck something with it, so make sure it\'s a good fit as the rear glass has a different shape on early models.

Does it fit to the top of the rear window (glass) like the RE-Amemiya one for the RX8?

Not forgotten about this, i\'ll have to take some pics at the weekend as it\'s too dark by the time I get home and i\'m way too much of a fan of my bed to be up in time to take pics before work

I know my experiance is with a RE-Amemiya roof spoiler for an RX8 but I found a good quality silicone sealant worked a treat however I was bonding to the rear window alone. I used black and the results where pretty satisfactory
