Re: spoiler alignment question

I have the same issue, but you may want too look into the rear hatch alignment. Mine has a pretty good sized gap on top. When I removed all three pieces of the spoiler I found that the rear decklid didn't match up with the fenders so the hatch alignment was my problem. Otherwise if you want to move the outside spoiler pieces there is some play with the stock holes, but not a lot, atleast not on mine. So to move the outside spoilers a considerable distance you would need to drill or oblong your existing holes. I personally don't like drilling unnecessary holes, so I will be realigning my rear hatch when I get an extra set of hands. Hope this helps

Re: spoiler alignment question

There are two ways to change this

1) Remove the center trim panel in the hatch area to expose your hatch motor. There are 3 bolts holding the motor in place. One on each side and one below it. Once you loosen those bolts, the motor will rise or fall as well as give a little bit of side to side adjustment. Raising or lowering this will adjust where the hatch motor stops pulling down.

2) There are rubber threaded cushions where the rear corners of your hatch meets the top of your rear bumper. They can be adjusted. Most people screw them in all the way to start. The rubber may be old (I had to use a dime to keep the threads from sticking. Screwing them in allows the hatch to close lower. Screwing them out allows the hatch to close higher.
