Repairing or Replacing a Damaged Rear Air Spoiler

This guide provides information on repairing or replacing a rear air spoiler, specifically for vehicles where the spoiler has sustained damage.

Problem

A rear air spoiler has been damaged, potentially requiring repair or full replacement. Cost is a significant factor.

Solution

  1. Repair: If the damage is relatively clean (e.g., a clean break in the shroud), plastic welding may be a viable repair option. Assess the damage to determine if plastic welding is feasible and cost-effective.
  2. Replacement: If repair is not possible or practical, consider replacing the entire spoiler assembly.
    • Aftermarket Suppliers: Investigate aftermarket parts suppliers for potentially lower prices compared to dealerships.
    • Color Matching: If purchasing a pre-painted spoiler, verify the color code to ensure a match with the vehicle’s paint. Compare the vehicle’s color code to available spoiler color options. Super White 2 (040) appears to be equivalent to Glacier White (Australian market).
