Default 3dr rear spolier, moving away from the body.

Does anybody know how to fix this, the spoiler on my 3dr is moving away from the boot, think it's the wieght of it gradually over time pulling it away, got about a 1cm gap now, just wondered if there was an easy way of pulling it back

cheers, pete

it sounds like the holes have been elongated and the bolts are starting to pull through the actual tailgate whale tail will need to be removed to fix it properly and DONT be surprised with what you find
