I've also got one of these that's been sat under the bed for the last 12 months waiting to get it fitted!
I'll be taking it to a bodyshop to do, if I ask them to use rivnuts rather than ordinary bolts does that mean it can be done from the outside of the car without needing to gain access to the interior of the rear pillars?

once the hole is drilled the rivet is inserted and a bolt can be screwed into it.
no access needed from behind and very simple and safe

the problem with a lot of ebay tat ones is they either fit bad or sag in the middle.
look at the pictures in the thread and you will see the genuine is also curved to the rear screen and is alli so wont sag.
a lot of the cheapies are flat and not curved too.

i am swapping it for a carbon one
so if it comes off in one piece it will be up for grabs

To dig this old post up, I'm going to fit a one-piece Carbon affair to the blobeye. What should I do as well as just drilling a couple of holes and bolting? What would you use to protect the interior of the panels from moisture?

Rivnuts can only be used on a genuine Subaru spoiler as the end daps come off and you then bolt down into the rivnut.
