: keep in mind how much force there is when u drive. since the spolier is made of foam..try looking for some stuff they use to repair bumpers. plastic weld or something. you want something that'll stick good..stay flexible..able to hold up to extreme wind pressures. the spolier is difficult to repair because u can't really get to the other side of the trunk lid. only clips are holding it down...so give that a try.
there certainly is some pressure on there. I used some of that plastic weld to fill in my front license plate backet holes. I don't know if I would trust that to have the strength needed either. I have no clips holding mine down anymore because the metal in the spolier is all rotted out. Maybe I could work on filling that space with something so that I can reconstruct something to fasten the spoiler back down to the trunk lid. Right now even if I could get to the underside of the trunk lid (which I have done to a limited degree through some access holes) putting screws up from underneath is pointless because the foam doesn't hold the screws at all. What a mess.
