Had a Graham Goode spoiler but then noticed there is water comimg into the boot[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]where one of the bolts has a slight gap in it - any ideas how I can plug it or is it a case of taking the spoiler off and doing it from the top.

Can't take it back where it was fitted as it is miles away.

Madman,had exactly the same problem with mine(not fitted by GGR) and the water buggered my CD changer!! Fixed it with some sort of putty that my brother in law gave me.He just put it around the screws(unscrewed them first).Whole job took 30 mins and it's never leaked again.

Any idea what the stuffs called.

Not fitted by Graham Goode, just purcheased from there - fitted by a Subaru Dealership who shall remain nameless

Use Silastic, it's like the stuff that's around your bath.

Having the same problem with mine

Popping into Scoobysport tommorow

I think it needs some of that none drying mastic to form a gasket type seal

I will post tommorow on how they rectify it

Phil
PS have to say Lads at Scoobysport hav'nt experianced this problem on there spoiler before but are VERY keen to resolve my small problem ( Nice to have good after sales service )

With a little visit to Scoobysport this morning

The lads used a Mastic (very similar to the Bathroom mastic metioned earlier) which seals but does not remove paint

Nice ring round each hole and the wiring lead and back on with the spoiler

Hopefully that should be it now
