So, as most of you know, there are these nut plate things on the two outside rails under the main spoiler that secure it to the deck... Mine are both broken.
I was at the dealer and apparently you can not buy just these little plastic parts but you need to but the whole rail at about $20 each, $40 total. Seem high but I may not have a choice unless others here have a work around. Oh, and before some one suggests it, I've been to the yards and every one spoiler I removed had broken plastic nut plates.
Is there another option to repairing these or am I in for new rails just to slip these plates off and onto my original spoiler? I was thinking epoxy but I'm not sure that's a good idea since it limits the side to side movement of the spoiler for alignment.
