Hey all, my spoiler seems to be coming off, just on the rear of the passenger side.
What can I use to reattach?

The bolt is still there but the rear part seems to be glued on, what would the best product be to re-glue it back?

There are two studs on each side with dome nuts. Front one is visible, rear one is accessible through a hole in the inner skin of the bootlid. Seems like the nut on the rear one has worked loose or fallen off.

nah it wasn't even there, seems like they glued it or sikaflexed it down and with the heat it has come off. I have the 3 other bolts but not this one.

There is a product called body moulding tape, good long lasting stuff.

"Just go faster, down force will keep it on"

Downforce on the rear wheels in a front wheel drive car. Why ????

your probably better off to remove the spoiler and check what the go is with the missing bolt. if it's rusted or snapped off it will need to be drilled out and re-tapped for a new bolt.

Pull the screw out of the other side and find a bolt or Allen key with the same thread and replace both of them. The screw is a pita to get out so replacing both is a good idea. The thread in the spoiler itself is a metal insert so that should be fine

I used some spring wing toggle bolts with good sized washers and never had another problem. This was on an aftermarket KR spoiler though... Not sure on how different the set up is.
