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.

 

any idea where i can get replacements and what the name of the part is?

 

Dealer only:
Each side will have 4 total parts.Two grommets mount in the trunk (part #01553-09621), and two clips mount on the spoiler and lock into the grommets. (part #01553-04631 if your production date is 12/95 or earlier, or #01553-06521 if it is after 12/95) The parts are list $1.78 ea. & $4.00 ea.

 

thanks alot, i really appreciate it, now since it's only one side i should only need to order parts for that side right? do i take the old pieces out from the trunk?

 

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.

 

get all 4 you will break the other side we you remove it.

 

yeah, you're probably right, i just didn't want to spend any more money than i had to, but i might as well be on the safe side

 

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.
