am I missing anything to replace my spoiler trim?

Hi, all.

I recently bought a rebuilt 2004 Boxster S. It's missing the top trim of the spoiler, with only the support.

I was wondering if I'm missing anything to reinstall a replacement piece.
Here's what I see:
Boxster spoiler base - Album on Imgur

And this is what I'm considering replacing: Upper Part 98650460902G2X - Genuine Porsche - 986-504-609-02-G2X | Pelican Parts

That doesn't look like what my 2001 S has back there...

Let me dig up some photos with the rear bumper cover off to show you what should be back there...

(the Pelican parts breakdown looks right though to me)...

Oh, wait. Nevermind. I see you have a 2004... It might be different...

Please ignore what I said...

On your 2004, the spoiler trim just clips on top of the spoiler frame.

I'd call Pelican before ordering that spoiler. 2003 and 2004 have a different style spoiler than the 97-02. The picture shows the early style and not yours. I checked on the website and it shows the same part number for both spoilers. Somethings up

How does it secure itself from bumps and highway speed airflow? I'm glad if it just clips on (for ease of DIY reinstall), but I wonder if it fell off because the repair work was sloppy?
