ok i just recieved my aerowing spoiler for my 91 firebird it didnt come with any mounting hardware im wondering on how to install it? like the 3 stands i could just drill it but im not sure on how to get the 2 arms on the body can any1 help ??

BigWhiteGTP

The 2 arms connect to the sides of the actual hatch glass. I have a '91 T/A and on the frame of the hatch there are hook-like clips that will slide into the arms of the spoiler to hold it down against the glass. So you will probably have to buy those separately.

yeah i noticed theres like slots on the underside of the arms where can i buy the hooks at ???

ebay

would it still hold on good by just drillin the main stands cuz i dont have the clips for the arms so if i did that would the arms sit on the class or would they flop or move around??

you should try a GM dealership and ask for the hooks someone told me that they still have them... i dont have a part number but its worth a shot...i was trying to buy a spoiler off of someone on this site a hunter green one and he couldnt find the hooks and told me that i should be able to get them through gm

YOU NEED THEM... it could def rip off without them

Do not put the spoiler on w/o the clips!!!! Try GM an d maybe a 3rdgen parts site like the links at the top of the page?

i had the same problem a few months ago. I couldn't find any clips and didn't want to grind them off if i did find em. My solution was simply some strong double sided tape. Cut the width of the tape down a little and attach it to the metal around the hatch glass.

It has been working for about 3 months now even with speeds of 90+. Might be an alternative for you to think about.

I will attribute to the double sided tape thing.

It works, but not for long. Every 6 months or so, the tape will need to be replaced as it is weathered.

Now, it is a ghetto way of doing things, but if you can't find the proper clips, well then, thats what you have to do. Its a quick fix.

hey morote got those parts yet?

do you have to weld the metal hooks to your existing hatch trim? How does it work? I cant decide whether to find a 91-92 or get the reg gta wing

if you have to get those hooks welded to your existing hatch trim then ill forget it

deadbird

*edit-delete* screw trying offer alternative solutions if they're just going to be ignored....

i was wondering my self are those clips welded on or can you remove them? im putting a differnt style spoiler then the areo wing and was wondering if i had to grind them off or could pull them off?

MoroteZ28

so you have a aero spoiler now???

if so then you prob have to grind them off
what condition is your spoiler in if you have one id be interested in buying if in good condition

if you have the normal 85-90 aero wing then it clips on there are no hooks...if you have 91-92 spoiler straight wing spoiler then youll have the hook setup that holds them on

fitbmxseries1

i have the normal aero wing now and im going to high rise style, im replacing it because a tree fell on it and now its bent and warped like crazy, funny thing is, it used to have a notch back but a tree fell on the garage and almost totaled the car,(trees dont like GTAs?) and the previous owner couldnt find a replacment notch back that insurance would cover. i have some old poloriods of the car with the notch back i wish i had it then!

ok today i finally got the mounting hardware for the spoiler now i got the small plastic clips and all but my window frame doesnt have no metal brackets that hook up to the plastic clips...... sooo how do i go about installing it??

MoroteZ28

alright got the hardware and everything the drilling part would be no problem but my hatch doesnt have the metal brackets to the window so how can i get the arms on ??? i gotta kno im in a hurry to take this to the paint shop
