Default Spoiler Help!!!

I may have never noticed this but it does not seem right. I have a gap where my spoiler meets my trunk. Can any of you guys go out to your car and see if you have this type of gap please?

My theory is you don't have the gap, and (maybe since I plasti dipped it), it has gotten hot and the adhesive has loosened up. But now that I type this that doesn't really make sense because what about people with black cars.



Let me know what you guys find, thanks!

i can see it in the middle. I would get that spoiler re-adhesive done again or the hot sun will make it warp more. BTW, thats a nice spoiler.

Did you bolt it to the trunk or just 3M tape?

That looks like the glue is coming apart, if it just happened , take it off slowly and clean the trunk area very good, no polish or wax , take a rubbing alcohol and wipe it down, and put a brand new 3M tape. thats all I can say, good luck DJ, and by the way wht kind of spoiler is that.

It says he has the F sport so that should be the f sport spoiler (I think)... but I just checked mine out and I have a mini gap too, but not too visible. I dont think its a big deal.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Mine looks the same. I'm assuming they used thick 3M tape that raises it a bit. It seems pretty solid when I try to flex it though.

There's a small gap in mine too but it looks pretty uniform. Hard to see on obsidian though.
