Default Another High Rise Spoiler Question

I found a good deal on a high rise hatch on craigslist. I haven't bought it yet but it's going to need repainting. Is there supposed to be some sort of rubber seal/gasket between the spoiler and the hatch when I put it back together? If so, would anyone know the part numbers?

Is that an SLP one that was put on the Firehawks?


It looks like it, I had one on my 02 Black hawk years ago. Along with a few bolts, its hold down with double sided tape, the tape acts like a barrier to a point.


I removed mine once to be painted, and it was a b*tch to get off with all the tape, but that's all that was under there.

It's the standard T/A wing. Is it supposed to have double sided tape like the SLP spoiler? Was it special tape from GM or did you replace it with something random from a hardware store?

There are little rubber donut thingies that go into the decklid. If you can't find a part number, you could probably substitute some silicone to seal it. You'll need a Trans Am deck lid, a formula deck lid won't work.

So there should be 8 of each the "seal" and the "washer"?
