Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix [*]



Re: Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix

Yeah, this is a good one to have here. I, fortunately, ran across this mod within weeks of getting my GP. Unfortunately there is a slight amount of paint damage from vibration and rubbing more than anything, but I got some rubber spacers that have worked flawlessly.
 
Re: Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix

yea i think everyone needs to do this. under the spoiler is really a good place for rust to start... and before u know it, u need a new deck lid.

I just get alot of information from the sites and figured i'd tried and give back somehow. I know many folks know this mod, but some may not, or some may have forgotten about it... so its kinda a reminder for those.
 
Re: Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix

Im glad you posted it because I was one that had forgotten about it and I agree, we have new owners coming in that will need to know about this.
 
Re: Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix

yea i got mine like 8 years after build, and it wasnt really that bad... but i have seen pics of worse damage. mine has always been a GA car, so im sure in other areas of the world, rust and paint damage is probably really bad...
 
Re: Raised Spoiler - Drainage Fix

Toilet tank bolt washers work GREAT for this. Apply silicone GREASE to each side and it helps with the waterproofing without damaging anything or becoming permanent. Also, be sure the low spots of the wing have the 1/8" holes drilled in them to drain the water that inevitably finds it way inside.

This is what I did. I found them at lowes in the plumbing section. And they were already black, perfect for me.

And since I had some rust around my holes, the surface was a little rough. So the silicone worked perfectly. Seals up great!
