Installing roof spoiler

I have a Stillen roof spoiler that I installed last summer. I guess I didn't do that great a job. After a while I noticed it was lifting off the window and there didn't appear to be much tape holding it down anymore. So, before something serious happened, I took it off.

After cleaning all the old tape off, I put a straight edge across it. As you see in the photo, the trailing edges mounting surface (left side of photo) is not sitting parallel to the window.

So, do I just use a heat gun to straighten this out, or just take it to a good body shop?

Mine has been on for over a year.. The drivers side was coming up so I lifted it up and I put more double sided tape on the window and it's holding.. There is one small part on the driver edge that has lifted but the tape is holding still..

I have the Inven getting installled at a local shop and they are adding fiber glass to the inside so it can have a flat surface to stick on to the window. I'll post pics soon.

urs looked like it warped in due from the sun, the shop told that the sun may eventually make the middle part of the wing dip in after a while,
