Default Sealing spoiler

I mounted my spoiler today, bought some rubber gasket material to keep water from getting in, but its too think and I can't bolt it down all the way.

Any ideas on what to use to seal the holes I drilled from water so it doesn't rust up my trunk?

Whats wrong with a bead of clear silicone/rtv?
(the kind that requires solvent to wash off)

You can remove silicone... Its a bit tougher to remove window-weld/urethane.

Ghetto or not it works fine for me...and has for years

Thanks for the input - I'll look into some of these ideas tomorrow.


Anyone else have any other ideas?


Thanks.

My stock spoiler doesn't have any type of sealer on it that I can see. It has foam gaskets though.

Yeah, I tried, the smallest stuff I could get though was too thick, couldn't get the spoiler bolted down enough
