Wife just came home and informed me that the rubber spoiler under the bumper is hanging down. Don't think I have heard of this before on the forum. Crawling under the car, it appears to have some form of double sided tape at the two extreme edges. Any idea how to re-secure this without buying a new part. OK to run it without for the time being? Not essential to the cooling system I hope.

Thanks.

I replaced mine. It just clips onto the actual bumper. No double sided tape.

Are there actual individual clips or just the spoiler sliding in to the plastic bumper and somehow holding on.

Thanks.

No clips. It just slides on to the bumper. I sprayed the inside channel of the spoiler with wd-40 to make it easier. My original spoiler was pretty beat up from previous owner hitting parking curbs. I installed a new OEM for less than $20.

Thanks, the one I have would barely clip on, no chance it would stay in place if I drove on the freeway. I'll have to order a new one. Thanks all.
