fitting a sti spoiler to my wrx
i was just woundering are they sealed all the way round the bootlid or do they have a little channel so the water does'nt sit on top of the boot lid. also would silicon be alright to use to stop the water getting underneath the spoiler

I only sealed mine around the actual holes allowing any water to run off, Is your a gen or replica?

I'd just seal around the holes, but don't use silicone use silkaflex or similar.

As above, seal only around the holes using Sika-flex or Tiger seal, NOT silicone.
Don't forget the hole where the brakelight wiring comes through
