The upper wing on my car is coming apart along the seam between top & bottom. I have the adjustable supports but the seam is opening and looks ugly.
Anyone have any method for repairing these? Can the top/bottom be separated and re glued back together. I would like to try and repair it to avoid having to spend $300 for a replacement from NPD.

Thanks

They can be repaired, & yours sounds repairable by your description, but pics would help.

NPD wings are $200 if you buy them on line and shipping to my house was $28. They looked pretty nice just didnt have the big bolt in it.

I'll try and get some pictures, but not sure how to load them. The previous owner put in small screws evenly spaced along the bottom of the trailing edge up into the top. Even with that the seam between the top and bottom has opened up and it just looks ugly. Looks like these screws are whats holding the top/bottom together

Kendal,

Is the mounting boss for the bolt molded in?
