Title: Rear Decklid Spoiler Repair Suggestions
Post by: jpc647 on November 18, 2010, 01:51:59 PM
The deck lid spoiler on my 88Bird is starting to separate, its a two piece plastic like material and the base section is starting to come apart.

Pictures of the spoiler are here:

What product can I use to adhere it back together?

body panel adhesive. It will hold and never let go. You have to follow the instruction,and clamp it together until it is fully cured. Get some.

I used rubber gloves, and glued two of the fingers on the glove together, but it didn't get on my hands. lol Thanks for the suggestions.

It was called panel bonding adhesive, and it seems to work as stated. Time will tell, right? lol

I don't think you're going to have any issues with it.
