Like an idiot, I backed up too far and broke off my spoiler. The light cable is still connected. Is it able to be disconnected so I can still drive my car until I can fix it or no?? 3M tape good or what do I need to do?? Is it fixable??? Please tell me it is!!

There are some bolts holding it to the trunk from the underside. When you remove the spoiler there will be holes there, btw.

Or you can use body clips until you repair/replace the spoiler



Available in the HELP section at any auto parts store

The only holes I have currently are in my spoiler. The bolts are still in my car although 1 on each side has a lil black cap over metal bolt that is chipped or missing. Idk what to do. I really would prefer not having to get a new spoiler put on. Plus, my entire car needs repainting. Someone please helpppppp!!!

I took some last night but they are kind of dark. I'll take more in a little bit.

how exactly do you back up too far and break off a spoiler, what did you hit?

9/16/2013 9:58:19 AM

I was in a parking deck. Dropped my phone while trying to answer it, was dark, couldn't see how far back I was. It was the horizontal metal beam wall that comes up waist high (that overlooks the ground). Of course there's scratches, but the main thing is my spoiler.


Yeahhhh....I know......dumb move. #judgefreezone

please don't ever use your phone while driving again, particularly while backing up or maneuvering in a parking garage or tight space. Next time it may not be a spoiler, next time it may be a child.

girls are fucking terrible drivers

Yeah, I don't use my phone while driving. I was parking slowly in an EMPTY parking deck with nobody or no cars around. I clearly wouldn't have done it if there was or if that call wasn't important. Still no excuse......


......back to the matter at hand. Don't come here to judge. I'm asking for a solution to my now problem which I am fully taking responsibility for.

Might I add, I've never had a car wreck or had any speeding tickets. I don't text or call people while I'm driving on the road.

no one has had a vehicle accident up until the point that they have one

your past luck does not protect you in the future

backing up without looking is dangerous. no other qualifiers, its dangerous in all situations.
