Plus Spoiler brackets

[blacklabel]

Alright, I sure had an interesting night. I started heading home from where I was and I had just cleaned my MAF sensor so I wanted to see If I could tell a difference. I started going a little fast and there was some wind out. 2 of the 5 mounts on the spoiler were weak and I was planning on fixing them.(I tried epoxy but it didnt work for that long). Well I got back home and what do I see, my spoiler missing. I start getting mad and I went out looking for the spoiler on the freeway. I not only find it, but its in one piece, no cracks, and the gromet thingy is still with it. All there were, were a few scratches and chips.

Basically what I would like to know is what should I use to bond the brackets back to the spoiler. I want something really really strong so this never happens again(I'll hold on to the extra spoiler I have now just in case...). I think i will take off all the old glue stuff on the brackets and use whatever you all suggest.

Thanks for any help/suggestions and for reading that long story, but boy am I relieved to have found it in one piece.

My buddy Matt used some 10,000LB strength bonding agent from a body shop. I believe it was made by 3M. $20 bucks for a tube, but now worries after that. I'm sue a s*it load of JB Weld would work as well. Just be sure to use some rough sand paper so the adhesive has something to adhere to.

I'll take a trip to Lowe's tomorrow. I'll see if there is anything by 3M there and I'll look for JB weld. I'll make sure that I absolutely cover the brackets all over so it doesn't fly off again.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I had a body shop reattach mine.
The used windshield adhesive.
Strong but thick enough with flexativity.

I also had a body shop re-attach all of mine-a 3M urethane that is heated up & then applied-24 hour cure. Windshield replacement shops use the same stuff. The issue you will have is bonding the brkts back on in the right location. I have a template I cut out from a plus deck lid I parted. You will have to use your decklid as a template. Remove ALL brkts even if one 'feels' OK! Remove all old adhesive from brkts & spoiler,take to local shop or buy a tube from a shop, apply adhesive to the 2 locations on each brkt, approx attach brkts to spoiler, install on decklid, align all studs in holes, make sure spoiler is sitting in right position left to right & front to back, cover with towel & add some weight on top of spoiler on each brkt location, let cure for 24 hours, pull spoiler, add silicone on each brkt around each stud, re-attach with 5 nuts.

I ended up getting some polyeurathane glue. I think it should work well. The only thing is it takes a while to get off your hands.

Thanks for the help.
