2nd Gen GT Spoiler

Post by Dairgo »

Has anyone put some loctite on their '09-10 GT spoiler nuts and bolts to hold them secure?

Probably not a bad idea BUT mine is still solid as when new (only 20kmiles) but juniors I believe we tightened the nuts when we installed the new high mount brake light some four years ago. I've heard that these are known to loosen up over time. Yours must have come to that point finally :x

It was at that point before... When I had the windows tinted, the guy removed the rear trim pieces. I was able to put on all 3 bolts as they had fallen off. Thinking of going to visit that guy again and have him take off the trim piece so I can put some loctite on the threads and secure the 3 under the trim.

I was fixing to post a thread, asking if anyone else's 09-10 GT spoiler was loose, then I saw this. :D

At 56K miles, I have been noticing recently that my spoiler moves a little bit, up and down, that I had not noticed before. So I'll be tightening those nuts ...

I do actually remember someone on here saying they put Loctite on the nuts on their spoiler. I can't remember who it was or what thread it was in, but I definitely remember reading it :P! I check ours every so often. I should probably just put some Loctite on them one of these days :|...
