Water under rear spoiler

HeartbreakMR2 · 05-15-2008, 08:43 PM

I have a 92 N/A. I have tried silicone, strip-calk, and 3M double sided type. I still end up with a large amount of water under the spoiler. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to correct it?

I havent had any issues, it goes under my 91, and then out the other end.

The spoiler I encountered with the same problem had the drain holes plugged which did not let accumulated "sweat" from the inside drain. We sweat alot in Florida ya'll

Good
If you can't tear it off again, try adding your own tiny drain holes w 1/8" drill at the bottom rear of the vertical element.

Better
Take the wing off to accomplish above.Confirm you hit a void inside the strut vertical.

Reassemble drive at 140mph to test.

take a picture of the water, im curious to see how much is accumulating

I don't think I would be able to get a pic. The water gushes out when I open the trunk, but takes about 15sec to drain. If I were to guess an estimate of how much between a liter and 24oz.

As for the 140mph test need new tires first, currently H rated. Darn the bad luck.

put new wing gaskets on there and tighten down the wing. should keep the water out.
