Default RST Spoiler

Hi guys I recently won an 90spec RST spoiler on ebay, with the intention of fitting to my rs look-a-like When it arrived I was really surprised how heavy these things weigh! Do rst's have stronger boot "push rod" things (sorry I dont know the techinical term) as I dont think the boot will stay open with the weight of the new spoiler!

Also it didnt come with any screws/fixings, can I buy a pack from the dealer?

Cheers

Colin

You might find it won't fit your tailgate either, depends on the year of your car I guess

my dad had an h reg escort eclipse and my mum reversed it into a pole when it went to ford they put a 90spec rst spoiler on it and it bent and snaped the brackets that the tailgate struts go on to.

Gas struts is the technical term.
