Caution...Gen2 Rear Spoiler extremely loose
Last weekend I went grocery shopping with my wife and as usual I dropped the grocery bags in the hatch and closed it. I saw the spoiler has quite a bit of play. Then of course, I started to shake the spoiler a bit and I sh!t you not there was close to 1/3 of an inch of movement. I have noticed that there was some sort of play to it since day 1, but nothing like a third of an inch. So I went home, tighten the 2 screws under the hatch. I was able to spin the nut for like 3 to 4 turns before it's some what hand tight. On a side note, I never touched the spoiler in terms of mods or what not.
So later that evening, out of curiosity, I checked MSF for loose spoiler. There was a guy actually lost a spoiler on the highway and the car was less than 2 years old gen2. Just out of sh!ts and giggles, I started to wiggle random gen2's spoilers in parking lots, and I found them very loose. So word of advice, tighten them bolts before you lose it completely!
