Is the spoiler easy to take apart? I think it is rattling and it drives me off the wall. I searched on here and I couldnt find anything.

Thank you

I believe some of the other members have the disassembly instructions .

I thought the spoiler was pretty solid up there unless it has been hit or bumped. Do you see any signs of damage or is it noticeably loose up there?

I would also look into the actual barn door locking mechanism (under the barn door) and the latch area by the driver side tail light.

another spot I would look at would be the 2nd row middle seat. Fold that down and add some felt or tape to the latch

how do you know its coming from the spoiler?

anyways, before you take it apart, when standing behind the truck, to the right of the wiper, there is a small plastic piece, check to see if its firmly in place.

just replaced mine, but it was only rattling when i opened/closed the barn door.

Sorry for the late reply. It sounds like its coming from the hatch area. When i close the rear window, you can hear the spoiler creaking. I might have to sit back there when my drives and see if I can here where its coming from. Is this not a common problem?

Not aware of this being a common problem.

Did this fix your rattle? I think I'm having the same issue. Sound like a rag hanging out and flapping in the breeze. I had forgotten about it until I rode in the 3rd row a couple weeks ago and it sounds like it is coming from the spoiler.

I rarely drive it, my wife drives it more. I think its a combo of the tool kit and something else.
