Solutions: have them remove it/remove it yourself, and then reapply with something called "betalink adhesive". It is a paint on adhesive, so you won't see that unsightly gap between the bootlid and the spoiler. However, it is much more permanent than the 3m tape, so if you choose to remove it in the future, it will be more annoying to do so. However, I think it's worth it to have a much better seal, and a better overall fit and finish.
Thanks for the reply, where would I acquire this product you are referring to "betalink"
