Replacing spoiler

Got my carbon TRD style spoiler (thanks Nic) and have painted the ends to match the car.All is great.

Ive removed the old spoiler and exposed the holes where the new spoiler will bolt onto.

Now before I clamp the new one on, is it good practice to fill in or cover the redundant holes as I imagine the seal the spoiler makes with the boot isn't perfect and I imagine water ingress will occur? Whats the best procedure?

The spoiler came with some sticky backed pads that I assume sit around the bolt holes and cushion the seal between the bolts and boot lid. I will use these but are you supposed to use anything else to create the perfect seal?

Just thought I'd ask before wading in even though it seems simple enough.

You don't need to fill the middle holes. Maybe treat any rust.

I put a fine layer of clear-gel bathroom sealant around the whole under surface of the TRD spoiler. It acts as a total cushion between the spoiler and the rest of the bodywork and saves any direct rubbing on the paintwork - works very well mucka;)

Ah cool. I have a new tube of that and thought of doing the same. Great! Shame it so dark and damp outside as I'd love to get it on there now.

my old veilside spoiler rubbed on my boot

silly japaneese man who put it on

im waiting for mine to come back from the painters , ive put duck tape over the square middles holes , and as sugested above ill put a beed of sealant around the contact points should do the trick
