bork Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I finally scored both OE top & mid spoiler wings. BUT I dont have any hardware except some of the bolts for mid wing which look like I must drill thru back hatch to attach. But the top spoiler attaches how? Is there special glass anchors bonded to rear glass? to be able to bolt to? I cant find anything in the search function and cant find anything in parts breakdowns.

crazyman03 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If i recall correctly, no. Or at least, I made one mount to the top with a hatch that didnt originally have one. I used some universal flex tape (i dont remember what its called) on both sides of the spoiler, bent them around the hatch, and tap screwed them in. Alternatively, you can find some industrial 3m tape and make that stick link to image of what i used -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) EDIT: Attached pic of actual spoiler mount for posterity. >>Never mind - incorrect: If the top is anything like a Forester ( and it should be similar), they do screw into the top of the rear hatch. You'll maybe find a template online. Look over on rS25.com or NASIOC where the Imprezas roost. Because of the angles, I'd be very hesitant to just 'guess' on that one. The attached is for the 1st Gen Forester...not going to be the same, but might help (or not).

lmdew Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 You have to drill and put in the rivnut for the bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bork Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thank you all, but I thought the top spoiler attaches to glass, otherwise drilling the frame would be easy. The lower spoiler has studs and little plastic nubs to pop into holes. I just need to take out tailgate interior to install the nuts after I drill.

brentlysubaru Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 The top spoiler attaches by a couple brackets that are glued on the glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Now I know what I must hunt for, or try to make. I tried to find them in parts break down, without success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentlysubaru Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Your welcome. I pulled the spoilers and brackets off a car I was scrapping. Took a pic to remember how they went back on. A while back I found the brackets on a Subaru website they were around $47 a piece. I just went back to it and they didn't list then anymore. I guess that they were discontinued.
