I received my Sheridan Rear Spoiler today and WOW is it ever nice! It is a simple piece but by far the nicest piece of fiberglass I have ever purchased. To do it justice, what is the best way to mount it to the deck? Sure, I could run stainless TEK screws through it but what have others done? If you have pictures, please post! thanks |

Ok, finally mounted mine using rivnuts with a sealed shoulder, stainless 1/4-20 x 5/8" bolts and stainless bonded sealing washers.
Step 1 - make sure the trunk is properly aligned with equal gaps on both sides Step 2 - clamp in place and align spoiler evenly side to side   Step 3 - mark spoiler for drilling. I drilled 1/2" from the upright portion of the spoiler in the center and at 1 foot increments to both sides. Drill through the spoiler into the trunk for perfect alignment.  Step 4 - install rivnuts. It will help to drill all the way through with a 1/4" drill to allow the rivnut tool to fully extend for the holes right next to center. The outer holes will need to be drilled straight through full size and will slightly contact the rubber seal strip of the trunk. Step 5 - mount spoiler and enjoy!  |
