3rd Gen. Se Wing

This happend to my bro's '89 Max (it's a common problem among 3rd gen maxes.) All he did was tear it off, and re-glue it back on with industrial strength adhesive. Then when he sold it this new owner who re-stuck it to the trunk with some kind of bolts, basically it was screwed in with metal tacs. (home-made, not done with Nissan parts)

you could buy double sided tape and use that. that's how it was done by the factory. just make sure to clean the areas to be taped.

Do you guys have that same problem with after market wings or are you having problems with the stock ones.

These problems are with stock wings. The aftermarket wings use conventional nuts and bolts and they are urethane or fiberglass and not that rubbery stuff

yeah, this seems to be a common prob on 3rd gens...

Here is what I did:
My so called passenger side of the spoiler was almost off completely, so I just ripped that side off completely. Then I cleaned both surfaces, (trunk and spoiler) with rubbing alchohol and scraped any excess glue or whatever it was off the spoiler part where its attached to the trunk. Then I dropped a little crazy glue on the spoiler and put some double sided tape on it, then pressed the other side of the tape up against the trunk and held it down for 4 minutes. Thing holds better then stock for the last 4 months.
I've done the same procedure to passenger and driver side door molding since I got the car with passenger side molding allready halfway torn off and just hanging freely. I wanted to simply use tape and glue to reattach it, but the molding was curled up from wheather and **** like that so I tore it off, then broke it in half by mistake, had to compress it and crazy glue it back together, reatached it at warm (65 degrees) wheather. Holds better then stock for months now. Just make sure your spoiler is straight when you reattach it.
