Exclamation

As many of you are aware I have been having problems getting my GS430 Spoiler painted and repaired. They finally got the paint right after three tries! But now the GS430 Spoiler Shakes when the Trunk is closed!:eek: It did not do that before they painted it. CountyLine Lexus now says that some of the GS430 Spoilers Shake while others do not. I told them since mine didn't shake before they painted it I expect them to repair it so it is solid like before. It would seem there is some defect in some new GS430's that is causing this problem. Do you guys think they damaged the fittings or trunk holes for my GS430 Spoiler and that is the reason it shakes? Or do you think there is some other problem? Peter Donnellan the Area Operations Manager for Lexus confirmed it is a Lexus factory Spoiler

Mine does not shake, but I don't slam down the trunk lid to close it.

I just close the Trunk normally and it Shakes like a Pinto with an aftermarket Spoiler!

NO spoiler should shake on any situation ! Any rattles or shakes or vibration is some flaw and needs to be fixed.
