For years Ive been fixing the spoiler, the posts come off almost every year or so. Ive tryed many different glues, many different epoxys, tried fiberglassing them on. Nothing stays.

Its not like the cars being driven fast & the wind is doing it. The car hasnt been over 40mph this year because Ive only driven it local 200 miles total if that this year.

One of these times its gonna come off on the highway & be lost/runover something I really want to avoid. And the car looks really dumb without it on.

 

i'd like to know too

 

I removed the original plastic posts with embedded threaded studs and replaced them with a hat-shaped piece of metal I bent. The bracket is epoxied to the spoiler. There is a large diameter hole in the center of the bracket. I spipped a j-nut onto the bracket, then installed the spoiler with a large washer and a screw that threads into the j-nut. I used the j-nut so it is not so critical how the bracket is aligned to the hole in the trunk deck lid. The center portion of the bracket is a divverent angle than the base of the bracket so it is parallel to the underside of the trunk surface. Good luck.

I WOULD USE PRIMERLESS TO AUTOGLASS URETHANE ADHEISIVE. WILL BOND TO PAINT AND WILL NOT BUDGE. NOT RECOMMENDED IF YOU PLAN ON PAINTING THE CAR THOUGH....QUITE HARD TO REMOVE AFTER IT CURES. CAN GET AT ANY LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE.

 

Dang, stop yelling I heard you all the way down here in central IL !!

 

I took one inch water pipe (plastic) and placed it around the broken pedastals and ground the top of the water pipe with the same angle as the pedastal. I took the pedastals and a grinder with a slim blade and cut lots of little slits all over it so the epoxy would stick to it when I filled the cavity full of glue. I cut the water pipe where it would fit flush against the trunk lid taking the stress off of the pedatsals when bolted down. I let it dry for a couple of days and bolted it down last summer and pulled very hard trying to break it lose and I couldn't. I filled the cavity full of glue with a good epoxy after grinding the spoiler bottom and roughing it up so the epoxy would have a good surface to grab ahold of. I ground everything that the epoxy would be adhering to to clean and for strength. It has worked very well.
