Bumping an old thread. went to open my trunk and found the spoiler cap loose. Three of the 4 clips had failed. Age I suppose. Any suggestions for the caulk? Any long term considerations for using caulk? Like, will it be impossible to remove later? Or, does it impede access to anything else I might want to get to later?

New unpainted ones appear to run $150 to $180. If some silicon caulk does the trick might stick it back on - at least for a bit.

So they ran out of clips at your local dealer?

Caulk? It's not a Honda, Bruh.

Pay a visit to autozone... oreilly... they may have clips that will suit your need. Stay out of the caulk aisle.
