Hi there, when you removed the rear spoiler, did you use any sealant when you put it back on, or were the screws enough? I bought a pretty rough '85 that had the same glass separation happening - the previous owner had used caulk all over the place, including to attach the spoiler. I'd prefer to not goop it all up, unless you're actully supposed to :) Thanks for the video !

Thanks for watching and for commenting! I didn’t use any adhesive or sealant on the spoiler - just screws. I think I had to replace a few and the rest I rethreaded with a tap and die set. I’d suggest making sure all the old caulk from the PO is removed so t doesn’t interfere with the new urethane. Also, make sure the two drainage slots on both sides of the spoiler stay open so water doesn’t collect up there. I park under trees so I end up having to clear them with pipe cleaners every couple of weeks :-)
Good luck with your ‘85!
