Hello, the left rear corner of my rear spoiler seems to be coming loose. I don't recall how it's attached. I couldn't seem to locate any screws in that area. I was hoping just to tighten them up. How can I re-seal that back to the trunk?

You have four screws make sure there tight enough also get some 3M adhesive tape works like a charm you don't want water make it's way inside the trunk.

The bolts should be pretty easy to find, but if it will help here are the factory spoiler install instructions.

So..... Are the bolts threaded into the spoiler at the time of install or are they built into the spoiler out of the box? I'm asking because the body shop installed this when I had the car painted 3+ years ago. I see where it looks like they drilled a hole on the inside of the trunk lid but I couldn't see or feel a
bolt.

The 3m tape most likely un-adhered. The fitment on the edges was never perfect, and the tape made up for it.

You will most likely have to remove the spoiler and start over. Its not fun

Also be advised that many times the installer would cheap-out and simply stick the spoiler on with the tape...not drill any holes or use the bolts.

If you're lucky this will be true then you can remove it and chunk it!!:beer:

I have never been a fan of the spoilers on 4 door lux-o-barges!!:shake:
