    Spoiler loose?

    I have a 2015 Mirage ES with the OEM spoiler, just got it so I never really noticed but today I was washing it off and noticed the spoiler has some wiggle to it. It doesn't feel rattly, but it also doesn't feel like it's 100% attached to the rest of the car either. Is it supposed to be like this? If not, is there a way to tighten it?

    I would compare it to like a tooth, you can wiggle it but it doesn't feel like it will just fall out either. I'm not using a lot of force.

    Searched around and only could find people discussing aftermarket spoilers, but sorry if this is redundant.

    My 2014 spoiler feels a little loose also, it's normal.

    Well at least I know mine isn't something special. If that's just how it's supposed to be I'm ok with that. I'll keep an ear out for any noise but it doesn't seem to be rattling from what I can tell. Unless the engine is drowning it out.

    There are 2 10mm bolt on each side of the spoiler, located in the upper tailgate. Try to tighten it. If it don't work, then remove the spoiler, add double tape. The stock double tape is very little.

    My 2014 wiggles a bit too and has since new.
    I've always wanted to put some double sided tape under the botton corners but laziness has won out and spoiler is still there ��
    Will weld for beer.

    Mine actually rattled a little when I hit bumps. I tightened the outboard bolts, but there are also two inboard bolts under the little plastic cover in the center of the rear hatch. Make sure they are all tight.
