Default Spoiler Gap

After washing my car today, I noticed that the rear spoiler on my car has about a 1-1.5mm gap that you can see between the spoiler and the trunk. Throughout the middle of the spoiler, where the lexus insignia is, it has a much smaller gap about .5mm. I can see a little bit of the adhesive and I try to press it down but it wont go adhere like the .5mm of the wing. Is this normal or am I just a bit ****? I would have tried to take a picture but I doubt the gap will show up that well.

not normal. my guess is that whoever installed the spoiler drilled the holes a little too close to each other and so the spoiler doesn't sit properly.

Ok. So there should be no gap at all even on the left and rights ends of the spoiler? Hmm, sounds like I have to take it back.

Mine is the same way at the ends but I did not notice it until you mentioned it, and I am always checking my car out from all angles. The difference is so small I really have to look to see it. I expect that if I have not noticed it since I got the car in April, no one else is going to notice it, so unless it really bothers you, don't dwell on it.
