Front spoiler DRAMA

[DrumReaper]

Does anyone have a link? Appreciated.

Update:

Sucks but my front chin spoiler lost screws on its own this weekend. It appears that this spoiler may need some more bracing given the amount of downforce they achieve.

Any of you engineers have any ideas?

The first one posted should be for the R

No problem. I posted the R video first as I knew you had an R

Well, this front spoiler ordeal is aggravating... Need a solution for the downforce these cars attain. Any ideas.

Just check and tighten the screws periodically? I took mine off and put it back on a few weeks ago. If its installed correctly, it should be real hard for these to come off. The light amount of downforce on it shouldn't have any impact on it.

I sent my dealer the link to the video and they still screwed it up. It came loose while my wife was driving it home and scraped the crap out of it. Now we are waiting on a new one to arrive in Germany so they can try again.

This!

My midsection was just a few miles away from this.

So, I should settle on a $68k car that I have to periodically tighten up the chin spoiler screws on?... Makes sense. :headbonk:

if its the middle section that was sagging im guessing they didnt properly secure/tighten the middle screws that go in at 45* angles

The most common reason for screws backing out is not being properly tightened in the first place.

Loc-tite won't help?

Are all the screws backing out or only some?

 

[DrumReaper]

No, Loctite won't help.

No, Loctite won't help.

As Krt22 mentioned, the hardware was not properly installed if they are backing out or! the nut plate is stripped. Either way it is due to improper install. I have 4k highway miles avg 80mph miles on mine tracked twice and hardware is all in tact and tight to spec
