Default Spoiler dilema......

I have a my00 Classic Turbo, in Deep blue, I currently have the DRM 22B style spoiler, but the quality has revealed itself over the two years that I've had it, and it constantly lets water into the boot which is driving me mad, so, due to the fact that the 22b jobbie is stuck on never to come off, I have a dilema.
I am getting another boot lid, and have been thinking about spoilers, I'm considering not having one at-all, but am also thinking about the early low one too.
One of my concerns is wether any of the spoilers actually give any real effect on handling at highish speeds, as I tend to do a lot of track days!!

Your thoughts please,

Ron.

Leave the 22b on there and get some sylcone sealant on there!

ron are you sure it's the spoiler and not the seal around the rear lights as when i changed mine they let in water at first until i put more silicone around them or try what mattyb2 sugested around screw holes.

Tony,
defo the spoiler mate, pi55ed right off with it, layed in the boot and done the hose trick, it leask like the preverviable sieve!!

Been looking at a bmw lip type spoiler instead, tiny little thing just sits along the boot lid, just need to get one to see if it'll fit! measured the length, and that fine, just the curve that might prove difficult!
