Wanted: Gen1 rear spoiler

Potenza · 07-31-2011, 11:57 PM

I'm looking for a standard black rear spoiler for a 2000 Insight. Doesn't need to have the brake light with it. Both of the end clips on mine are busted, so it's loose and rattles. If anyone has a good-condition used one or knows where to get one, please let me know! Thanks

Or you can super glue yours back on. I did it a few years ago and they're holding fine. Just don't slam the tailgate when closing. All you have to do is drop it from about 6" open and it closes fine.

Mines got three broken clips too. The left and right ends and the left mid-way. I got the long brass nut off ok. Problem is I can't get the remaining right mid-way clip loose to take the spolier off to do any glue work That clip is up under the wiper motor where I can't push it out backwards like I did the other. Any ideas?

For sure Brent has one I just got back from his place 11 hour return trip. This is a VERY cool supplier, never seen so many Insights in one place, to bad they were all wrecks!

Or you can go brand new for $110 from Majestic Honda....

You can remove the wipper assembly and get to the last clip to reverse it out. I had the same gig you did with 3 of 4 clips broken. I used JB Weld (Mills Fleet is where I bought mine) and I let it cure for 12 hours. Now that it is curred faily well but not brittle. I attached the spoiler and let it cure in the sun for another day. Been done now for 3 weeks and good as new. Also if any of the clips are broken out real bad and missing pieces get some form of playdough or oil based not drying clay. Shape it around the clip and pour the JB Weld into the mold. Worked like a charm for me. Hope this helps.

Thanks Brent,
I looked at removing the wiper assy, but it wasn't clear how to get the wiper arm off...necessary for pulling the motor assy out. Seems there is a seal there that might need replacing...do you know?
Thanks
