I have had a different problem with mine.I used laquer organisol paint on my spoiler and after a while the paint bubbled where the spoiler comes in contact with the paint. I think something leached out of the laquer paint in the hot sunshine and caused the problem. I have not seen any type of gaskets for sale and I assume they never used them. I will probably silicone the holes to keep water out. Al & Sheila

I bought the mount kit and have not figured exactly how this attaches. Happy Easter Thanks I cut a few pieces of gasket paper and and put them on the four studs and also three pieces where the spoiler touches the trunk lid. I also did not use the four screws that go up through the trunk lid on the ends as there is a gap between the spoiler and lid and I did not want to crack the spoiler.
