Default Nuts in STi spoiler....

Has anyone had the 10mm nuts from the top half of the newage STi spoiler fall into the bottom half?? (Don't ask.....)

And how have you retrieved them?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Gaz

Yes funnily enough, to be honest the easiest way I found was to have the boot lid off and take the top half of the spoiler off then tip in back and forth until you see signs of the nuts at either ends.

Takes a bit of patients but it does work.

Good luck!

i had this problem when installing wing stiffies.

removed the spoiler, and took it apart. note, dont over tighten the nuts when they go back on, as they WILL snap

Thanks for the replies all.

I was hoping not to have to take off the bottom half but seems no other way.
