A1 - Yes, our Tesla Model Y spoiler typically comes with 12 month warranty. Our warranty coverage including a standard warranty for a Tesla Model Y spoiler usually covers defects in materials and workmanship. This means that if the spoiler has issues like cracking, fading, or manufacturing defects within the warranty period, it can typically be replaced or refunded.

1. Our Carbon Pattern Warranty:
Our dry carbon fiber is hand laid and is not Prepreg Wet Molded.

**Introduction of dry carbon fiber**：Dry carbon fiber is not made in the same way as wet carbon fiber. The price of dry carbon fiber is more expensive, the production process is more complicated, the manufacturing cost is also higher. Carbon fiber is a material that is used in many high performance sports cars and racing cars. Carbon fiber can not be found in ordinary civilian cars. Dry Carbon Fiber is lightweight and strong, so it's only natural that this material is popular with many supercar manufacturers. Dry Carbon Fiber has less resin left over from the manufacturing process, which makes the parts made from this type of fiber stronger.

**Introduction of Wet Carbon Fiber**：Wet carbon fiber is much easier to make than dry carbon fiber, and the cost is vastly different. The mainstream production method of wet carbon fiber can be basically divided into two, one is the hand-layup method, the specific exploration can be literally understood. Will not be soaked in epoxy resin in advance of the carbon fiber cloth cut into the desired shape, first in the abrasive tool to brush the release agent, and then every layer of carbon fiber cloth will be brushed with a layer of epoxy resin as a binder until the completion of the wet broken fibers within the lower content of the tree wax, so that the production of carbon fiber caused by the cost of a fairly low. There are very many fake carbon fiber parts on the market, such carbon fiber parts with a layer of imitation carbon fiber stickers only.

2. Our UV Warranty:
Our carbon fiber spoiler is coated with 3 coats of UV Protection. Over time without proper care from waxing or applying a nano-ceramic coating, this protection can wear off. Slight yellowing is normal for carbon fiber when parked outside in direct sunlight and is not covered under our warranty. To extend the life of our Carbon Fiber, we recommend using "303 Protectant” that will assist with UV protection.

A2 - No, a properly installed Tesla Model Y spoiler should not easily come off. The spoiler is designed with strong, automotive-grade 3M adhesive tape that creates a secure bond with the vehicle's surface. However, the longevity of the attachment depends on proper installation.

To ensure the spoiler stays in place, it's important to:

- Clean the surface thoroughly before installation to remove any dirt, wax, or debris that could interfere with the adhesive.
- Apply the provided adhesive promoter to the surface, which enhances the bonding strength of the 3M tape.
- Press the spoiler firmly onto the vehicle after removing the backing from the adhesive, ensuring an even application of pressure for 20-30 seconds or longer.
