Just noticed today as I closed my trunk that the right 2 risers have stripped out/cracked the metal surrounding the screw hole. Ever since day 1, I've noticed that the extra spacing of the wing from the trunk created more torque around each hole when closing the trunk door. I never slam the trunk, but even with giving it a little 'oomph' to fully shut from a few inches of opening always caused the wing to bounce a little...This plus all the road vibration/possible wind buffeting likely has also contributed to fatigue failure. I don't really know what to do.
I could try and weld a repair to the cracked section and drill a new hole or try and buy an entirely new wing unit. I love the look that the riser gave the car, but after this I think I have to go back to stock placement...I can't really imagine dishing out $1k for a seibon cf one and TBH I may be close to that in expenses if I buy another one and get it color matched.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
