General sh*t!

I bought a spoiler off ebay for my bravo the other day, it came this morning. thing is, i think there has to be holes in the rear window for me to fix it on? i was looking on another website and it says it fixes onto the window. help me please!!

 

[bandido41]

the best and possibly the cheapest way to sort that is go to a scrappy and by a tailgate with the spoiler and holes drilled into it already and then sell that one on.

you can still stick it on, it will be fine, use sikaflex 221

 

[klemster]

best thing to do is basically glue it on with a good adhesive..thats what i did..people say tigerseal is the best but there are loads out there, i have never used tigerseal.

 

[ricketh]

So if I use some decent adhesive it should be alright?
How exactly am i going to stick it on, in what posittion, anybody got any images showing how to fix it on?

It should be the position where the edge of the spoiler meet the boot lid. If using tiger seal or similar, remember they ideally need 24hrs drying time so you will need to hold the spoiler in position as the adhesive dries.

 

[jug]

there is only 1 position where the spoiler will fit correctly.

Piece of **** mate.

Fitted one to my SX. Grind the studs off the spoiler, then use tiger seal to glue it on.

I had visions if it flying off on the motorway, but it is on with just a little bit or flex in it, which is what tiger seal is meant to do.

i didnt cut mine off..i glued them down aswell just to be safe!!i drove the car after an hour and it was solid..should probably wait for 6 hours though!

Yea best to let it set properly!

Grind the studs off the spoiler,

or use a spanner and do it way fiat intended

How did you glue it down with out grinding the studs off?

or use a spanner and do it way fiat intended

And then s**t yourself when you shatter the glass when drilling it

 

[mountainmachine]

If there proper studs they'll have two threads, so you should be able to screw them off. If there not then i dunno what Jug is on about, but having never done it i bow to his superiority.

exactly

no need to drill glass or grind them off, just get a spanner and wind the studs off.

I could not unscrew myn out that is why I ground them off
