trunklid spoiler coming off on one side

Hi fellow enthusiasts,

Much to my chagrin, I noticed today that my rear spoiler is detached from the trunk lid on the far left side. There appeared to be a round connector which needed to be pushed back into a hole on the trunklid so I just tried to push it back in. Unfortunately it won't stay. Seems the recessed hole on the decklid is larger than the rounded button on the bottom of my spoiler and so it won't "snap" in. Before I spend mucho $$$ at the dealer I was hoping someone on the board could help me solve this problem. Maybe there is some kind of bonding agent I could use etc...? ANy help is greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks in advance,

Blackmaxgic

Thanks Jon! If all I need are the clips for $4 that would be stellar!

BTW, nice pics of your MAX

all 4 of mine are broken too. I emailed Courtesy Nissan and they quoted me $3.38 for one. Its just the part that hooks to the wing and goes into the hole. I think thats all you need.

OMFG I took off my spoiler and broke 3 of the 4 bolts that hold the inner supports. Not a fun project. They are a bit rusted and the bolt stripped out the wing. I hope you dont have the same experiance.
