Did you make sure you removed all the wax in that area first?

This.

Use rubbing alcohol even. Betalink is VERY strong and will often break the paint upon removal...I can't see it not sticking unless the surface isn't prepped.

the first attempt the glue that came with it prolly was betalink, i didnt have clamps therefore wouldnt hold so i took it off immediately, then used some stuff from home depot and it did a shitty job and i had clamps, so i guess i will get more betalink but where can i find it in stores?

BMW dealers sell Betalink, I'd give it another go with that.
