Spoiler Rattling???

I've been hearing a rattling sound going over bumps coming from the driver's side in the rear, at first i thought suspension, but lately i'm wondering if it might be the spoiler. the driver's side of the spoiler is loose, while the passenger side isn't, and it seems plausible that it's banging on the trunk over bumps, my question is, how can i check that, and how can i tighten it back up even if it's not the problem (it's not really THAT loose, so it might be something else) i don't want to leave it loose.

It's held into place by plastic clips on the ends. You will only be able to tighten it by replacing them.

I would get all of them. Murphy's law dictates that you will break the ones on the other side as well when removing the spoiler to replace only one side. Best not chance it.

I would say do not remove the spoiler just from personal experience. but if it really bothers you that bad have someone professionally fix it.
