Been using 3m tape and been holding strong for me too, from temperatures of -40celsius to +30celcius for nearly two years.
I did however clean the area before taping on and recommend the same. I added the tape to the spoiler first and cut grooves in the tape to make it concave and follow the line of the spoiler. This also made sure no air pockets were created as the tape did not have to bend or fold up anywhere then I placed it on the truck lid. I also rounded off the edges of the tape so it would not stick out at the ends |

We had a similar discussion last week, although not focusing on hot temperatures, maybe it'll help:

What about uninstalling a spoiler with 3m tape? How does one go about that?

Proper application should be done with 3M tape

I used the 3M on my rear spoiler. Survived hot ATL summer and the recent cold blast we had (I was worried about water expanding once frozen under the spoiler). All was OK.
The only heads up I have is to take dish washer soap and clean up the base of the trunk to remove any wax,etc so the 3m will bond better. |

Yesterday I used a heat gun and lots of dental floss lol Didn't need to use Goo-Gone, the tape just pealed right off, no residue.

The 3M automotive adhesive tape is what I used on my M3 lip spoiler. Worked perfect and has been holding strong for 3 years in the hot and humid Miami, FL weather.
Installation tip: clean the area you're going to be installing the spoiler on with soap and water, then hit it with a clay bar to make sure you have a completely clean surface for the tape to stick to.
