Re: question about the rear spoiler
When you open the trunk Look up at the top of the lid & you will see like 4 or 5 black rubber stoppers. Just pry them off & the bolts are there.

Re: question about the rear spoiler
LOL, my "screws" were pop rivets.
I had 4 bolts on the under side of the deck.
2 pop rivets in each end.
Then the back was stuck down with 3 strips of double sided tape.

Re: question about the rear spoiler

Re: question about the rear spoiler
What you should find are gray molded plastic bases that are glued to the spoiler with what looks like hot-melt glue. Molded into the plastic bases are a threaded metal stud. As I recall there were nuts with shouldered washers that thread onto the studs. The problem is with age the plastic cracks and the studs come free of it, so nothing is attaching the spoiler. What you're finding is a prior owners attempt to repair them.

Have you considering marketing a spoiler repair kit? I've been eyeing my spoiler since I pulled it for paint. All the mounts are no longer attached. I guess the best way to reinstall them would be fiberglass or body panel adhesive..... Just haven't had the initiative to mess with it.
