Spoiler HELP?

Can you guys tell if anything is broken? Or do I just have to remove the spoiler and reinstall it? Thanks for any help.

Just reinstall it. Nothing looks broken to me. The same thing happened to mine and the clip had to be welded back together.

Re: Spoiler HELP?

He meant the clip in your pic. Is yours original urethane or a fiberglass repro?

If original urethane, there are 4 bolts holding it onto the deck & the 2 forward facing "arms" hook onto the clips on the glass edge & slide into place, which is why one end of the slot has the big hole in it. For the arms studs to slip into, them slide into position, locking it in place, then put the 4 bolts back in.

My 'glass one didn't even use those clips. Just had recesses that those set in to.

It appears to be the original spoiler. Thanks for the help.
