nope, I unscientifically stuck them on there. I will be trying to zigzag tape later.
one thing about metrompg's test of the airtabs, I think he used them incorrectly, the air bubble was ONLY in the center of the car, one or two of these tabs could have disrupted that bubble without the drag from a whole back end of them, the string tests show that and I think should have been used to place the airtabs. if you have a drag reduction from the center 2 tabs, but the other 6 tabs are adding drag, well then just keep the center 2. I think its at least worth a shot, so I may be trying with some homebrew airtabs and such on the wifes jetta3. string test first to determine bubble size and shape. then airtab placement
