hi! washed my car today and i found that there is something wrong with the spoiler /wing on the trunk-lid. its higher on the left side than on the right side.. seems like its a bit loose on the left side (can move it up and down a little on that side ) So before i start removing plastic covers....anyone know how to tighten it up or how its secured secured to to the lid.....??? cheers Andreas
Well there are clips on each side of the spoiler as well as one in the center. There are 4 bolts across the under side of the spooler. You may want to hit the spoiler gently but firm on the side thats sticking up. It may have came out of its clip but a good tighten spoiler should not do that. The clip may also be broke. To tighten the bolts you first have to take the bottom plastic panel off which is a pain and you my brake some clips in the process. I broke 1 when removing mine. Then you have to remove the center plastic thats between the 2 glass windows. Then you will have access to the 4 bolts. Go here for some pictures. http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=21246&hl=spoiler
Some '06's, mine included, seem to have a spoiler that doesn't align with the quarter panels...the one on my car is close to even on both sides, though, and I've chosen to just leave it like that.

With my luck, at least, the dealer will probably do more damage than anything else.
