Had a cruise to bathurst with the boy today and on the way there the vortex generator flew off!!

We added an extra strip of double sided tape and it still it managed to blow off.

Anyone have any suggestions on what should have been done to prevent this from happening?

Need to use Sikaflex. Also a cutback polish is a good idea to allow the tape and sikaflex to attach to the paint rather than polish.

Sikaflex.

And ensuring there was no gap between the body and the VG, as air gets in and whooska
