Vert rear spoiler repair

Hey Now. Anybody ever repair their rear spoiler? Mine has two of the four studs missing! I can lift up the end and see where the previous owner tried to replace the broken stud with J-B weld or something of the sort. I understand this is a common problem with convertables. There has got to be a way of keeping this thing on-Better than what GM came up with!

Anybody?

Hey, I'm a machinist. I never even thought of that. Some 3/4 inch aluminum roundstock. Drill, Tap and angle cut it! Viola! That would work good.
Some J-B weld would do it some justice.

Thanks! I was thinking about fiberglass and Riv-nuts.
