Front lip spoiler repair

[PDACPA]

Found the spoiler like this today in the garage. Anyone know how to repair? Looks like there was some glue on the end of the translucent pieces that seat inside the black spoiler.

The mounting studs are overmolded when the spoiler is injection molded as a single piece. Only way to repair is some professional strength cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue). Be sure to remove the nut on the backside first, and then glue the stud into the lip, assuming the break there is clean (away from the valance; you probably don't want to adhear the spoiler lip directly to the car:MUCH harder to remove later).

@Lyle O - thanks. I had a feeling that was the solution as I can see and feel some old glue like on the end of the studs. Did not think about pulling them off the car and gluing to the spoiler (Was trying to get a clamp on the car and spoiler, but that will make it easier.

If you are going to remove the whole lip to do this work, be very careful. I just removed mine and it was necessary to dremel off the nuts on each of the 14-odd 6mm nuts, taking care to NOT bugger the threads in the process. To do this, I removed the valence and put it on the bench. It is not something you want to try with the valence installed on the car. If you do this right, you can make your repair, then reinstall new 6mm nuts with Antiseize. Don't forget the spacers that go on the bottom 11 metal pieces that keep the installation from crushing the rubber and bending the valence at each bolt hole.

I recently fixed mine. I took it off, used Gorilla Glue (carefully don't use too much!), and bought new bolts/nuts/washers.

Thanks for the tips. I am going to soak the bolts and just try and pull those two out and re-glue them. If the bolts are shot, replace them. It is a Florida car and in a garage so just age and maybe a little rust on the bolts and road grime.
