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. :cry:

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.

i would say to buy the new whole kit. I know $40 is a lot for that but if u factor in the time and maybe gas searching for another solution you may end up spending that much anyway over time. I'm sure you could rig something up though...

Too late... all fixed and mounted. I got new ones.

Thanks for the reply
