Spoiler rubbing on roof.....

[JezzaMac]

My cup spoiler has started rubbing on the roof behind the arial sometimes when I open and close the boot. I cant think of any reason why its doing this! Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any ways around it because its annoying and has scraped away the paint

Renew your struts or get the trophy/V6 ones which are shorter but watch your head!

Mine has done it. Fouls on the cup spoiler in the middle when full opened. Hitting the roof edge

They were done not so long ago so I'm not sure that it could be them!

It is very frustrating!

Screws all tight on the spoiler?

I wonder if putting very thin washers behind the hinge brackets will help? The adjust the boot lock bar so it still closes properly. Might give a tad more clearance.

Might give it a go tommorow

Worth a go I suppose mate! I've not got time for the next few days so if you get a chance to do it let me know how you get on!
