    When installing a Rear Grabber Spoiler, what sealer do you use around the mounting holes (windshield butel) ? What are the proper areas that sealer Should be applied to on the Spoiler, before mounting on the trunk? Thanks I want to do it right the first time. :)

    From the factory, they just installed Dum Dum (or strip calk) around the holes, and when the spoiler is tightened down, it creates a good seal.

    Get yourself a box of 3M strip calk part number 051135.-08578 . Its great stuff and works well with other things like your rear side marker lights. I used it last fall when I added a rear Grabber spoiler to my car and no water leaks at all. I also used it for the floor plugs under the carpet, taillights, and body trim when you don't want to see water in the car.
