Spoiler monting question

[fdexclpl]

I'm thinking of getting an OEM style spoiler from Ebay. Has anyone installed one of these type spoilers? I know they require drilling. I am not afraid of drilling but I am a little concerned about long term rusting issues.

A silicone type sealant can easily be applied around the mounting holes to keep out moisture. You can also apply some touchup paint on the exposed metal to prevent corrosion.

what i did was i used adhesive tape and then i really thick kind of glue i did not have to drill at all and it hasnt moved since i put it on which was about 5 months ago it works perfectly

Thanks for the info. I was going to use some kind of sealant even if the spoiler didn't come with any. I like the idea of paint as an extra layer of protection.

whats the difference between drilling some holes and using a super strong glue? if you take the spoiler off the car after either installation its going to show..... with either some holes, or a screwed up paint job from the glue.

Sounds like that would stress the paint...

If you really want a good seal, use masking tape. Cheap and gets the job done.
