Hi all,
Just a quick question re MY05 STi spoilers.
Is there a seal around the base that meets the bootlid?

Cheers,

Joe.

yes, normally there is a small foam gasket, there is at least on the v5/6 ones.

do u mean like a sealer around the L where it joins. Or a base rubber that lines inbetween for a seal?
Don't most have something like sikaflex (not sure spelling) inbetween for a seal?

I thought that there would be a foam gasket around the edge, or at least around the bolt holes.

Could be either, if it's a factory spoiler it will have foam/similar. If it's a bodgy bros. special it will have been sikaflex'd or possibly even nothing in between.

Yeah, it's factory...

Yes sealed - if original sticky foam is stuffed or missing use sikaflex (black semi hardening sealant) seals better than original seal too

Yeah mine had foam all around the edging when i bought it second hand. I replaced it all though with some new foam that i bought from Bunnings.

you can buy replacement foam off the roll from clark rubber. they have a huge range to choose from.

There is definitely a seal on the 06 STi and guess it would be the same. Had it replaced once under warranty cos it was coming out the rear. Stupid head mechanic at Ossie Park asked who fitted it

Lasted about 9 months and it started to work its way out again. Boot doesn't leak though so never bothered to get them to do it a second time.
