Help me fix my spoiler, it's attached to one mounting bracket...

Hey, I don't really understand how the mounting brackets attach the spoiler to the trunk, and as of right now, with the max I just got, the spoiler is attached to one bracket, and rattles when the trunk is opened and closed. What would be some quick solutions to attaching the spoiler to the other brackets, or just gluing it, or whatever. I need tips on how to secure the spoiler.

well...duct tape works very well...but for the non-tackier route, there SHOULD be the brackets up under the truck carpeting (on top obviously) check around there, im not 100% sure but it seems logical.

The brackets are there, but I don't understand how they work. Can someone give me a little idea on how the bracket attaches? I have a feeling that parts of the bracket may have ripped apart somehow (probably theft), so I need an I idea on how the brackets work, and I might try to do something about it. Thanks all.

I've ran into in the past. If someone pulls really hard on the the wing it will rip out the treads on the spoiler. In that case you have to remove the spoiler and repair the threads with epoxy or fiberglass and reinstall. It the treaded part inside is broken off you can put a nut in it. The nut must have a washer built on to it. Put the nut inside the hole in the spoiler and epoxy it in ( keep threads clean) after it dries reinstall it.
